Directions:For the Doughnuts:
Combine the buttermilk, eggs, and sugar. Set aside.
Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir. Stir in the melted butter or shortening and knead until a soft dough forms.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/4-inch thickness (roll thin for best results). Cut with a 2-1/2-inch or larger doughnut cutter. In a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the doughnuts on each side for approximately 1 min. or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip in a powdered sugar glaze while hot and decorate with nuts or candy sprinkles if desired.
For the Glaze:
Combine the powdered sugar, margarine, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Mix well and add just enough mild or water until glaze is the consistency you desire. (A thinner consistency will produce a thin glaze on the doughnuts or a thicker consistency will be more like a frosting.) |

Notes: IMPORTANT! You NEED to have a thermometer; the oil has to be at the right temp. Too cool it doesn't cook (raw in the center, oily, dense) too hot and it burns (or raw in the center). And, vegetable oil doesn't work, you need a trans fat, shortening (or lard) is ideal.
