Ingredients
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.
