Gather flour sugar baking powder nutmeg eggs sour cream, and oil
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg by whisking them together.
Butter and sugar should be creamed together in a separate basin until the mixture is frothy and light.
Beat in the eggs and sour cream one at a time, then mix in the dry ingredients.
Put the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour with the lid on.
Roll out the dough and cut into rings using a doughnut cutter or biscuit cutter.
Heat oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a few doughnuts at a time and fry for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Let the doughnuts cool, then dip them in your favorite glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Serve your homemade old-fashioned doughnuts with a cup of coffee or milk. Enjoy every bite!
