BUTTERMILK CAKE DOUGHNUTS
Making doughnuts at home might seem like a dream, but it's an attainable dream. Golden brown on the outside with a tender, cake-like crumb inside, these classic cake-style doughnuts rely on buttermilk and baking powder for their lift and rise. The dough is slightly sticky, but resist the urge to over-flour and over-knead. Like working with biscuits, the dough must be handled delicately or the doughnuts will have difficulty rising as they fry, becoming tough and dense. Be sure to use a thermometer to determine the temperature of oil - too hot and the doughnuts get too dark before cooking all the way through; not hot enough, they'll be greasy without that signature rise. These versatile cake doughnuts can be glazed, dusted in powdered sugar or tossed to coat in cinnamon sugar, but are their absolute best soon after they're fried.

Steps:
- Make the doughnuts: Heat 4 cups/960 milliliters of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot (preferably wider than taller) over medium heat to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt and nutmeg.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, egg, egg yolk and 3 tablespoons oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, using a wooden spoon to gently mix just until a dough comes together (you want to keep it rather shaggy; do not overwork the dough).
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead 4 or 5 times, just until no wet or dry spots remain, sprinkling in additional flour as necessary (dough should feel supple but not wet).
- Pat dough (no need to use a rolling pin here) to a thickness of about ¾-inch. Using a 3 1/8- to 3 1/4-inch ring cutter, punch out as many circles as you can. Using a 1 ¼-inch ring cutter, punch out the center of each circle. (Dipping the rings in flour before each cut helps to avoid sticking.) The scraps of dough can be gathered and gently pressed again two more times to cut the rest of the doughnuts, continuing to flour your work surface as needed.
- Working in batches, gently lower doughnuts into the oil (no more than 4 or 5 at a time). Fry on one side until deeply golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs or a skimmer and continue to fry until golden brown and cooked through, another 2 minutes.
- Drain doughnuts on a wire rack lined with paper towels and proceed with remaining doughnuts, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
- To make the vanilla glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and salt until no lumps remain. Add additional buttermilk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the glaze.
- Remove paper towel from wire rack. Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side, letting excess drip back into the bowl, and return it to the wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles, chopped nuts or toasted coconut.
- To make the chocolate glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, buttermilk and salt until no lumps remain. Add additional buttermilk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the glaze.
- Remove paper towel from wire rack. Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side, letting excess drip back into the bowl, and return it to the wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles, flaky sea salt, chopped nuts or toasted coconut.

BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS
Finally a recipe for a baked buttermilk doughnut that is crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside! You won't think you're eating a donut-shaped muffin with this one! You could also toss the donuts in a cinnamon-sugar mix, glaze them with a powdered sugar-water icing, or frost them with chocolate frosting.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
- Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
- Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
- Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
- Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
- Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS
This is a recipe adapted from the recipe that came on the back of the Nordicware dounut pan I bought at Target. I glaze them with my recipe Yummy Vanilla Glaze. Your donut yield will depend on how full you fill the donut cups in the pan. Somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 is about right.

- Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a standard doughnut pan with nonstick spray. Whisk together cake flour, cocoa, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in until almost combined. Gently stir in boiling water and chopped chocolate just until combined.
- Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and fill each doughnut cup 3/4 full. Tap the pan sharply to reduce air bubbles.
- Bake about 8, until the tops spring back when touched. Gently loosen doughnuts from the pan with a small silicone spatula, placing on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter, allowing pan to cool completely and spraying with nonstick spray in between batches. Set rack with cooled doughnuts over a piece of wax paper.
- For the glaze, combine chocolate chips, salt, heavy cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring until chocolate is completely melted and glaze is smooth. Dip doughnut tops in chocolate glaze, and place back on rack to let chocolate set. If desired, top with flaky salt or sprinkles.
