Buttermilk Doughnuts

Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

2 cups buttermilk

1 cup white sugar

2 large eggs

beaten

5 cups sifted all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup melted butter

3 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 tablespoon margarine

softened (Optional)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk

or as needed

Methods :

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Whisk buttermilk, white sugar, and eggs together in a bowl. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in another bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until combined; add butter and knead until a soft dough forms.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll to 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into doughnut shapes using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter.

Beat confectioners’ sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until desired glaze-consistency is reached.

Working in batches, cook doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked doughnuts to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Dip hot doughnuts into glaze to coat.
