> Grandmother's Doughnuts
>
> 8 1/2 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
> 2 cups granulated sugar
> 2 cups buttermilk*
> 1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
> 4 large eggs
> 2 teaspoons baking soda
> 1 teaspoon baking powder
> 1 teaspoon salt
> 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
> 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
> 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
> Vegetable oil
> Sugar, if desired
> Combine 4 cups flour and all remaining ingredients except oil and
> additional sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl
> often, until well mixed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough
> easy to handle.
> Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth (about
> 2 minutes). (DO NOT OVER KNEAD.) Divide in half; roll each half to
> 3/8-inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts with lightly floured 2 1/2-inch
> doughnut cutter.
> Heat 3-inches oil in deep fat fryer or Dutch oven to 375°F. Place 2 to
> 3 doughnuts in hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown (about 1
> to 2 minutes on each side). Remove from oil; drain on paper towels.
> Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
> Makes 3 dozen doughnuts.
>
> *Substitute 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to
> equal 2 cups. Let stand 10 minutes.
>
> Tip: It is important to roll the dough to correct thickness. If rolled
> thicker, the doughnut though browned may not be cooked through. If
> rolled thinner, the doughnuts will be dry and over browned.
