How about some homemade doughnuts?


Chef Michael Smith has done it yet again! The old-fashioned cinnamon-sugar doughnut, homemade!

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
Method:
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, buttermilk and eggs. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir well until a dough is formed.

On a floured surface roll the dough until it's about 1” thick. Cut out doughnuts using a 3” round cutter and then cut out the centers with a half inch round cutter.

Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil and fry until they are golden and float to the top. Flip and fry on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon and toss the hot doughnuts in the mixture.
