Golden Buttermilk Puff Doughnuts

This recipe makes 24 doughnuts, my advise is, better make a double recipe of these!

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Yields: 24 doughnuts

Ingredients

• 2  cups flour
• 3⁄4 cup sugar, divided
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3⁄4 cup buttermilk
• 1  egg
• 2  teaspoons cinnamon
• 6 1⁄4 cups  oil, divided

Directions

1. Heat a deep-fryer to 374 degrees.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
3. In another small bowl, combine/whisk together 1/4 cup oil, buttermilk and the egg; mix well to combine, add to flour mixture, and mix until very well combined with a wooden spoon.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls into 6 cups hot oil (375 degrees); fry about 1-1/2 - 2 minutes, or until very light golden brown.
5. Remove, and drain on paper towel.
6. Roll in 1/2 cup sugar, mixed with cinnamon.
7. Note: It is impotant to keep the oil temperature at a steady 375 degrees, otherwise the doughnuts will be overdone, and won't have a light texture.
