¼ Cup.Of granulated sugar.

¼ Cup.Of golden brown sugar.

2 large egg yolks.

½ Tbsp.Of vanilla extract.

1½ Cup.Of sour cream.

2½ Cup.Of all-purpose flour.

2 Tbsp.Of baking powder.

1 Tbsp.Of cornstarch.

½ Tbsp.Of salt.

¼ Tbsp.Of ground nutmeg.

THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THE GLAZE:

3 Cups.Of powdered sugar.

½ Cup.Of salted butter melted.

1 Tsp.Of vanilla extract.

4 Tbsp.Of hot water.

PREPARATION:
1st Step:

First, in a large dish, combine 3 tbsp of melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar and golden brown sugar. Use an electric hand mixer to thoroughly blend the ingredients together, then add 2 big egg yolks and vanilla essence to the mix. Re-blend it one more time.

2nd Step:

Next, sift the following dry ingredients together in a separate bowl: flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

3rd Step:

Using a spatula, incorporate a third of the flour mixture into the butter and sugar mixture. Then, you’ll like to add around one-third of your sour cream. Mix it up a little more.

4th Step:

Add the second third of the flour mixture, then stir in another half cup of sour cream, and do the same thing for the third time.

5th Step:

Now, add the remaining third of the flour, mix, and then add the last half cup of sour cream. Then cover the doughnut dough securely with a thick piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or until solid.

6th Step:

Roll out the doughnut dough to a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch and cut out as many donuts as you can using a donut cutter or two various sized biscuit cutters once you’ve gently dusted your work area with flour.

7th Step:

Re-roll the scraps, then cut out as many donuts as you can from the remaining dough. If necessary, repeat this procedure. I got just around 12 donuts.

8th Step:

Bring the oil temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit by filling a heavy-bottomed pot with approximately 2 inches of maize oil.

9th Step:

Fry the donuts in small batches for 2 minutes on each side, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Monitor them closely to prevent overheating. Make careful to adjust the heat according to the thermometer as well. And to remove excess oil from the cooked donuts, place them on a platter lined with paper towels.

10th Step:

You’ll need a half-cup of melted butter and some vanilla essence in the glaze, which you may combine with powdered sugar.

11th Step:

Let the donuts cool on a cooling rack once they’ve been dipped in glaze. With a cup of coffee or a cool glass of milk, enjoy them.

Enjoy !
