Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer until whipped to a creamy color. Mix in sugar gradually until well blended. Mix in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix in butter.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat 1/2 of the mixture into the sugar mixture until well blended; beat in remaining 1/2. Let batter rest for 20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead as little as possible until it comes together. Roll dough out using a rolling pin until it is 3/8-inch thick; cut into donut shapes.
  • Lower donuts carefully into the hot oil and cook until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning once. Remove from oil and let cool on a wire rack.
