Old Fashioned Cake Donuts

Definitely not something to go in the healthy section, but I figure every once it a while it's a fun treat from home. My kids always go out for donuts with their grandpa so it brings back good memories. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy these were and how they really were like cake donuts. It made for a fun Sunday morning treat. NOTE: This dough is very sticky so refrigerating is key!

3 c. flour
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. nutmeg
3/4 c. soured milk (in place of buttermilk...just add 1 T. vinegar to the milk)
2 T. butter (very soft)
corn oil
powdered sugar

Combine 1 1/2 c. flour, eggs, sugar, soured milk (or buttermilk), butter, baking powder, soda, salt, and nutmeg. With a mixer, beat just until blended. Scrap the bowl and mix again. Stir in the remaining flour and mix dough well. Dough will be somewhat sticky. Chill in fridge to make it easier to work with.

Divide dough in half and roll out with a rolling pin on a very well-floured surface. Roll out till 1/2 inch thick. Use the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter to cut donuts. Add holes and trimmings together with other dough and roll out and repeat.

In a dutch oven or skillet, heat 3 inches of corn oil over medium heat. Fry donuts a few at a time, turning often till golden, 4-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
