BUTTERMILK CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• 1. MAKE THE TOPPINGS: Vanilla Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients until smooth.
• 2. Chocolate Glaze: Heat the cream and butter until hot. Pour over the chocolate and allow to melt 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. Keep warm.
• 3. Cinnamon Sugar: Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until evenly blended. You can also use powdered sugar!
• 4. MAKE THE DOUGH: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
• 5. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, sour cream and the melted, cooled butter until combined.
• 6. Combine the dry ingredients into the wet, and stir well to form a sticky dough.
• 7. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper and another baking sheet with two layers of paper towels. Turn the dough out onto a work surface (I use waxed paper) dusted with plenty of flour. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and pat it out until it is about ½-inch thick. Use two round cutters about 3" and 1". Dip the cutters in flour each time and cut out as many doughnuts as you can. Gently move the cut doughnuts (and holes) to the parchment lined flour-dusted baking sheet. Press the dough scraps back together and keep cutting until all dough is used.
• 8. Heat 1 1/2-2" of oil in a large pot or deep skillet to 350. Fry a few doughnuts at a time (depending on your pan) for 3-5 minutes, flipping when golden brown on the first side. Remove to the paper towel lined baking sheet to drain while you finish frying the rest.
• 9. Dip or roll in the topping of your choice.
