INGREDIENTS

  • Doughnuts

    • 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

  • Glaze

    • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 1 tablespoon margarine, softened (Optional)
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

STEPS

1

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

2

Whisk buttermilk, sugar, and eggs together in a bowl. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until combined, then add butter and knead to form a soft dough.

3

Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into doughnut shapes using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter.

4

To make the glaze, beat confectioners' sugar, margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add milk while stirring constantly until the desired consistency is reached.

5

Cook doughnuts in hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels, then dip them in glaze while warm.
