Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Doughnuts

I have huge sweet tooth cravings on the regular. Can you relate?

When I get a doughnut craving, it’s intense. A lot of doughnut shops make pretty bland and greasy doughnuts that leave a weird residue on your tongue, at least that’s been my experience.

There’s a few local shops that I LOVE, but I rarely have an excuse to make a trip to one of them. This recipe honestly takes about the same amount of time that it takes to drive across town to my favorite bakery, so it’s kind of perfect. Plus, if you only eat doughnuts when you make them from scratch, you can’t really go overboard right? That’s my logic at least.

Ingredients
For the donuts

• 2 1/4 cup (255 grams) cake flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
• 2 tablespoons (29 grams) butter, at room temperature
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup (113 grams) sour cream
• Canola oil, for frying

For the glaze

• 3 1/2 cup (350 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup hot water

Directions
For the donuts:

1. In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until sandy. Add the egg yolks and mix until light and thick. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream, ending with the flour. The dough will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
