36 servings

  • 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
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup melted butter
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon margarine, softened
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Prepare doughnuts: Whisk buttermilk, 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.
  • Make glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, margarine, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until the 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.
