Jean's Homemade Doughnuts
4 egg yolks (or 2 whole eggs)
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp soft shortening
3/4 cup thick buttermilk or sour milk
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Beat eggs well. Add sugar, and shortening and beat. Stir in butter milk or sour milk. In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon together. Stir into other ingredients. Chill dough for 2 hours. Heat fat while rolling and cutting doughnuts. Fry until brown. Serve plain, sugared or glazed. For the Farmers Market I sometimes melt some sweet chocolate and dip the top of the donuts in there and let it set. Enjoy! Jean
