How to make old fashioned donuts

Gather your ingredients.

In a large bowl, add your cake flour and baking powder.

Mix in your salt.

Add in your nutmeg.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add your sugar.

Add your butter.

Add your egg yolks and mix until combined.

Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 additions.

Alternate with the sour cream and end with the flour. The dough will be thick and sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and chill dough for 1 hour.

On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. We rolled ours out a little thinner that so make sure to roll out to your preferred donut thickness!

Using a doughnut cutter or, in our case, a large measuring cup, cut out as many donut as possible.

We used a very small bowl to cut out the donut holes.

In a large bowl add your powdered sugar.

Add vanilla extract.

Add corn syrup.

Add hot water.

Mix together until smooth.

Like this!

Pour 2 inches of canola oil into a heavy bottom pot. Heat to 325 F. Fry your doughnuts a few at a time for about 2 minutes inch side. Be careful not to let them burn! Let cool on a wire rack.

Immerse each doughnut into the glaze. Place back on the wire rack. Have the wire rack on top of a sheet pan to catch any extra glaze. Let sit for 20 minutes, or until glaze is set. Enjoy!
