BUTTERMILK CAKE DOUGHNUTS
Making doughnuts at home might seem like a dream, but it's an attainable dream. Golden brown on the outside with a tender, cake-like crumb inside, these classic cake-style doughnuts rely on buttermilk and baking powder for their lift and rise. The dough is slightly sticky, but resist the urge to over-flour and over-knead. Like working with biscuits, the dough must be handled delicately or the doughnuts will have difficulty rising as they fry, becoming tough and dense. Be sure to use a thermometer to determine the temperature of oil - too hot and the doughnuts get too dark before cooking all the way through; not hot enough, they'll be greasy without that signature rise. These versatile cake doughnuts can be glazed, dusted in powdered sugar or tossed to coat in cinnamon sugar, but are their absolute best soon after they're fried.

Steps:
- Make the doughnuts: Heat 4 cups/960 milliliters of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot (preferably wider than taller) over medium heat to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt and nutmeg.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, egg, egg yolk and 3 tablespoons oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, using a wooden spoon to gently mix just until a dough comes together (you want to keep it rather shaggy; do not overwork the dough).
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead 4 or 5 times, just until no wet or dry spots remain, sprinkling in additional flour as necessary (dough should feel supple but not wet).
- Pat dough (no need to use a rolling pin here) to a thickness of about ¾-inch. Using a 3 1/8- to 3 1/4-inch ring cutter, punch out as many circles as you can. Using a 1 ¼-inch ring cutter, punch out the center of each circle. (Dipping the rings in flour before each cut helps to avoid sticking.) The scraps of dough can be gathered and gently pressed again two more times to cut the rest of the doughnuts, continuing to flour your work surface as needed.
- Working in batches, gently lower doughnuts into the oil (no more than 4 or 5 at a time). Fry on one side until deeply golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs or a skimmer and continue to fry until golden brown and cooked through, another 2 minutes.
- Drain doughnuts on a wire rack lined with paper towels and proceed with remaining doughnuts, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
- To make the vanilla glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and salt until no lumps remain. Add additional buttermilk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the glaze.
- Remove paper towel from wire rack. Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side, letting excess drip back into the bowl, and return it to the wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles, chopped nuts or toasted coconut.
- To make the chocolate glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, buttermilk and salt until no lumps remain. Add additional buttermilk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the glaze.
- Remove paper towel from wire rack. Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side, letting excess drip back into the bowl, and return it to the wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles, flaky sea salt, chopped nuts or toasted coconut.

BUTTERMILK POTATO DOUGHNUTS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
Frying in lard makes doughnuts far better than anything you can buy.

Steps:
- Cube peeled potatoes into 1 inch chunks and place them in a steamer basket over simmering water. Simmer, covered, until they are very soft and completely give way under the pressure of a fork. Immediately press the hot potatoes through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Weigh the riced potato to make sure you have 8oz and set the bowl aside to cool while you assemble the rest.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. (Weigh the dry ingredients and set half aside if you are planning to make two batches of doughnuts.)
- Place the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix until the sugar has dissolved and the eggs lighten in color.
- Add the buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla and continue to mix with the whisk attachment until well combined. Add the mashed potatoes and continue whisking until there are no obvious lumps. (Weigh these wet ingredients and set half of it aside in an air tight container in the fridge if you plan to make doughnuts tomorrow as well.)
- Switch out the whisk for the paddle attachment and add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two portions. Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together and pull away from the edges of the bowl of the stand mixer. (If using Einkorn wheat, feel free to add flour here if the dough seems way too wet.)
- When ready to fry your doughnuts it will pay to clear the area on either side of your stove and remove anything extraneous, including your children. You will need a medium sized pot, a candy thermometer (a clip to hold the thermometer on the edge of your pan is very useful). Lay out a piece of parchment paper to the left of your fry pot and sprinkle it with flour so the raw, cut doughnuts do not stick to the paper. Place a baking wrack double lined with paper towels to the right side of the fry pot for the recently fried doughnuts. Place an easily visible timer somewhere within arms reach.
- Begin heating your lard. Put enough lard in the pan that it's at least three inches deep when melted. If possible turn on your range hood so that the house doesn't smell crazy when you're finished. Crack a nearby window with a fan blowing out if you don't have a hood. The lard will come to temperature slowly and make little popping sounds - that's moisture that's escaping. Don't worry. Heat to 365F and then manage the heat carefully to ensure that it stays at this temperature while frying. If the lard gets much hotter than this it will scorch the doughnuts. If you fry doughnuts much cooler than this (330 - 350F) the dough will take up too much fat and become heavy in your tum tum.
- Lightly flour (or heavily flour if using Einkorn) a clean work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle of sorts, 3/8ths to 1/2 inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter dredged in flour and press it into your dough, but do not twist. Twisting binds up the sides of the dough and prevents each doughnut from expanding as much as it would otherwise. Wipe the sides of the cutter after each use, since the dough can be wet, and re-coat with flour. Place each cut doughnut and hole on the parchment paper you carefully laid out to the left of your fry pot. You can lightly knead the scraps together and press or roll the remaining dough as flat as you did before to get the last few doughnuts possible. (Alternately you can follow me down to Braid Town: I take the scraps and roll them into little snakes - usually there are 5. I press the ends together and then kind of squint/cross my eyes and try to see patterns that if repeated will create a coherent braid. It's really fun. I pinch the end of this creation and smush both ends together so that it forms a circle. I fry this one huge braid first because - whatever. It's a one-off weird thing and it will be good to practice frying something once before the real doughnuts are up. It's also fun to have one big doughnut that can be sliced and shared at the table, but it is prone to failure, so do as you wish.)
- With a slotted spatula or spoon gently lower a doughnut into the hot lard and follow with another one or two depending on the size of your pot. (You may need to turn the heat up a little to account for the cooling affect of the cold dough.) Monitor the lard temperature closely. The ideal frying temperature is between 360-365F. The doughnuts will sink beneath the surface of the lard initially but come bobbing back to the surface as they cook. Flip each doughnut once every minute. The doughnuts will take approximately 4 minutes to complete cooking. Remove each doughnut with a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel lined rack to the right of your fry pot to cool. Repeat this process until all the doughnuts you cut have been fried. Now fry your holes about 9 at a time. Holes also take approximately 4 minutes to cook. The best results come from stirring the lard constantly with two chopsticks so that the holes are able do somersaults and cook evenly on all sides.
- If you plan to adorn your doughnuts wait until they have cooled slightly and get creative. Toss them in cinnamon sugar? Sprinkle with powdered sugar? Make a basic glaze? To do this, whisk a tablespoon or two of milk, half and half, or cream into a ½ cup of sifted powdered sugar. Mix vigorously until the glaze is smooth and then dip the tops of each doughnut into the glaze, shaking off the excess. Now you can take your glaze to Flavor Town! Add citrus zest, or vanilla, or finely ground coffee, or cocoa powder, or sprinkles! We can't wait to see what you do with your doughnuts.
