Sourdough Sams

Recipes Ingredients:

1/2 c Active Sourdough Starter
1/2 ts Nutmeg
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 ts Cinnamon
2 tb Shortening
1/2 ts Baking Soda
2 c Unbleached Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Baking Powder
1/3 c Buttermilk or Sour Milk
1 ea Large Egg

Recipe Instructions:

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.
