Buttermilk Doughnuts

These old-fashioned cake doughnuts are great for days when you need your donies-in-the-morning fix right away and can't wait around for the dough to rise.

BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS
Doughnuts:
4⅓ cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup salad oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
oil for frying

Glaze:
¼ cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

In mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine all other ingredients (except frying oil) and add to first bowl, stirring to form dough. Knead on well-floured surface until dough is no longer sticky. Roll out to ½" thick and cut into doughnuts.

Combine ingredients for glaze and mix until smooth.

Heat frying oil to 375 degrees. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain doughnuts on paper towels and dip into glaze while still warm.

Makes a few dozen doughnuts and brings friends from miles around to eat them.
