Today is National Donut Day so I decided to try my hand and make my own. This is the first time I've ever made donuts so aesthetically they're not the prettiest, but holy moly, are they tasty!
SOURDOUGH DOUGHNUTS
2 c. sifted flour
1/2 c. white sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg (I usually put in a bit of both!)
1 egg
1/2 c. sourdough starter
1/4 c. milk
2 tsp. oil (+ additional oil for frying)
Resift flour with baking powder, soda, salt and spice. Beat egg, beat in sugar. Combine with starter, milk and oil. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix to moderately stiff dough. On floured surface, knead to smooth out and round up dough. (I usually knead less than 5 minutes or so.) Roll out to 3/8" thickness. Cut with doughnut cutter. Place on a cookie sheet and let rise for about 30-45 minutes. Drop in heated oil (~370F). Fry til golden brown. Let drip onto paper towel and then roll in sugar.

My dad had a donut maker for batter donuts. I remember frying vividly. They look pretty tasty! Enjoy :)
