OLD FASHIONED SOUR CREAM CAKE DONUTS

Old-fashioned sour cream cake donuts are a classic treat! Here’s a recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For frying:

• Vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
6. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two differently sized round cutters to cut out the donuts.
7. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Once fried, remove the donuts using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing or dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade old-fashioned sour cream cake donuts! They’re best when served fresh.
