Golden Buttermilk Puff Doughnuts

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This recipe makes 24 doughnuts, my advise is, better make a double recipe of these!

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 24 doughnuts

• 2 cups flour
• ¾ cup sugar , divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 6 ¼ cups oil , divided

Directions:

1. Heat a deep-fryer to 374 degrees.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
3. In another small bowl, combine/whisk together 1/4 cup oil, buttermilk and the egg; mix well to combine, add to flour mixture, and mix until very well combined with a wooden spoon.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls into 6 cups hot oil (375 degrees); fry about 1-1/2 - 2 minutes, or until very light golden brown.
5. Remove, and drain on paper towel.
6. Roll in 1/2 cup sugar, mixed with cinnamon.
7. Note: It is impotant to keep the oil temperature at a steady 375 degrees, otherwise the doughnuts will be overdone, and won't have a light texture.

Having made a number of Kittencal's recipes before with relative success, I tripled this recipe with no hesitation. Some people loved it, some did not like the nutmeg taste. Actually, taste was nice, but this reminds me more of a fry bread than a doughnut. I guess we are just used to Roosie's excellent donut recipe... so light and fluffy. I will try this one again because making it was so fast and easy, but will omit the nutmegs next time. Thank you for posting .
