Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 quart Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until it becomes smooth.
Step 5
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts. Reroll any scraps to make additional doughnuts.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Once drained, roll the doughnuts in powdered sugar while still warm.
Step 10
Serve the low sodium classic fried doughnuts fresh and warm. Enjoy!
