Buttermilk Doughnuts
4 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil or other oil of your choice
1 cup buttermilk
oil for frying
In batter bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg to
mix. In another bowl beat eggs to a froth, add sugar and beat well and
then add the oil. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the
buttermilk, mixing unti smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured board
and roll to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter and then
let stand 5 minutes. In meantime, heat enough oil in a deep pan, about 3
inches in depth, to 375 degrees on a deep fat thermometer. Carefully
drop the doughnuts several at a time and cook about 2-3 minutes, turning
only once after they rise to the top and have browned on the underside.
When done, remove from the hot fat with a skimmer and drain on paper
towels. Dust with sugar while still warm, if desired.
