Preparation Time:

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Chill Time: 1 hour
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze:

• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
   • In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until sandy.
   • Add the egg yolks and mix until light and thick.
   • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. The dough will be sticky.
   • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
2. Shape the Donuts:
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
   • Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional donuts.
3. Fry the Donuts:
   • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 325°F (165°C).
   • Fry the donuts a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
   • Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
   • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donuts to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain and cool.
4. Make the Glaze:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Dip each donut into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
   • Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the old fashioned sour cream cake donuts once the glaze has set.
   • Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
