Old Fashioned Donuts

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •3/4 cup sugar
• •2 teaspoons baking powder
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• •1 egg
• •3/4 cup buttermilk
• •2 tablespoons melted butter
• •2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
• •1/2 cup sugar for coating
• •2 tablespoons cinnamon for coating

Directions

1. 1Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
2. 2Whisk together egg, buttermilk, and melted butter in another bowl, then combine with dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
3. 3Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness and cut with a donut cutter.
4. 4Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pot or fryer.
5. 5Fry donuts 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown, working in batches.
6. 6Drain on paper towels, then toss while still warm in a bowl with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
7. 7Serve warm and enjoy.

💡 Old-fashioned doughnuts should fry at moderate heat so the craggy outside browns while the cake-like centre cooks through; overly hot oil leaves a raw middle.
