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:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Once fried, remove the donuts using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 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.
