Sourdough sams

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Active Sourdough Starter
½ cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Shortening
2 cups Unbleached Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 each Large Egg
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
⅓ cup Buttermilk or Sour Milk

Directions

Sift dry ingredients, stir into liquid, roll out and cut with regular donut cutter. Then heat some oil in a deep fryer to 390 degrees F and fry. Makes about 17 Doughnuts with holes. Just before serving dust with powdered or cinnamon sugar. NOTE: These doughnuts are virtually greasless. And if you want you can make several batches at a time and freeze. They keep well and to me taste after a while in the freezer. Take out as many as needed and thaw and put sugar on or eat plain.
