Old Fashioned Doughnuts
Description
Call us old-fashioned, but this is the best way to make doughnuts!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- oil for deep-fat frying
- 1-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 5 to 6 teaspoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat sour cream and buttermilk until smooth. Beat in sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla just until combined. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture just until combined (dough will be sticky). Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Turn dough onto a well-floured surface; knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter.
- In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Fry doughnut holes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. For glaze, in a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, water and vanilla until smooth. Dip warm doughnuts in glaze. Cool on wire racks.
