OLD FASHIONED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Donuts are plain cake donuts with a simple glaze, but they’re scored to create more surface area so that when they’re fried they get extra crispy and extra delicious on the outside.

 INGREDIENTS

– all-purpose flour – sugar – baking powder – baking soda – salt – ground nutmeg – buttermilk – unsalted butter  – eggs  – vegetable oil – powdered sugar – vanilla extract – water

Mix together 1 cup of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

In small mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs. Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds.

With speed on low, gradually mix in the remaining flour a little at a time. Add more or less flour as necessary to make a soft dough that is moist and slightly tacky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

Place oil in a Dutch oven and heat to 375°. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla and water until smooth.

On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the dough to ½ inch thick. Use a floured donut cutter or a large and a small biscuit cutter to cut out the donuts and donut holes.

Cook several donuts at a time scored side up, flipping them over as they rise to the surface and turn golden brown, about a minute per side. Drain on a wire rack.

While still warm, dip the donuts, petals side down, into the glaze. Swirl the donut in the glaze a little, then pick it up and let the excess glaze dribble back into the bowl.

Return the glazed donut to the rack to let the glaze dry. Repeat the process until all donuts and donut holes have been cooked and glazed.
