A traditional treat, these Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Doughnuts have a crispy outside and a soft, cake-like inside. These are great any time of day as a sweet treat or for breakfast.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 2 large eggs. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Oil for frying e.g., vegetable oil.
Instructions: Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk in a separate bowl. Mixing until a dough forms, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Just mix until there are no dry areas left; avoid overmixing. On a surface dusted with flour, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters of varying sizes one for the outer shape and one for the inner hole, cut out the doughnuts. Preheat the oil to 350F 175C in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot. The doughnuts should be cooked through and golden brown after two to three minutes of careful frying in the heated oil. After taking the doughnuts out of the oil, pat dry with paper towels. Let them cool a little before dipping them in your preferred glaze or sugar. Enjoy your Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Doughnuts after serving!
