Glaze
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2¼ cups cake flour , more for rolling and cutting

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons shortening

2 large egg yolks

2/3 cups sour cream

canola oil for frying
Directions:
Directions:
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together.

In your mixer fitted with a paddle (I use a silicone paddle so there isn't anything the paddle misses), mix the sugar and shortening for 1 minute (It will look grainy)

Add in the yolks and mix for another minute.

The color of the mixture will be distinctly lighter in color.

Add in your dry ingredients alternating with the sour cream 1/2 of each at a time on low speed.

If you are using a silicone flat paddle like me you won't have to scrape the bowl, otherwise scrape the sides down after each addition.

Move the mixture to another clean bowl and cover with saran wrap for an hour.

In a cast iron skillet or another heavy bottomed pan, add 2 inches of canola oil.

Heat oil to 325 degrees (I use a candy thermometer for this).

Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.

Using a doughnut cutter or cutters in your favorite sizes cut into doughnut shapes.

Carefully take your scraps and continue to re-roll as needed.

I often fry the scraps in random shapes instead of reshaping too many times. I call those the chef's portion. 😉

Carefully add the dough to the hot oil.

Fry until the dough floats to the top, then an additional fifteen seconds.

Flip and fry for another minute.

Remove to cooling rack to glaze.

Directions:
Directions:
Mix the powdered sugar, maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and hot water until completely mixed.

Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and let harden for 10-15 minutes.

Add the last cup of powdered sugar and whisk again.

Dip the donuts a second time for the thicker glaze on top.

Top with your favorite sprinkles.

Try to save some for others.
