Ingredients :
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour (plus extra for rolling and cutting)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon iodized salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- Canola oil for frying
Glaze:
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar (sifted)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon hot water (and more if needed)
Preparation Time (Includes Chilling): Set aside some time, including a relaxing 45-minute chilling period (extendable up to 24 hours), to craft these culinary masterpieces.
How To Create Heavenly Heritage Sour Cream Delights:
- Begin by sifting together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg into a mixing bowl, setting the stage for the delightful journey ahead.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend sugar and shortening until sandy, followed by the addition of egg yolks. Continue mixing until the concoction becomes light-colored and luxuriously thick.
- Introduce the dry ingredients into the mix, alternating with sour cream, blending until a sticky, cookie-dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Transfer the dough to a clean bowl, wrap it with plastic, and let it chill for 45 minutes, or let the anticipation build for up to 24 hours.
- Heat oil to 325°F using a candy thermometer. Roll out the chilled dough, cut it into delightful shapes, and immerse these creations into the warm embrace of the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and irresistibly cracked, then let them rest on a rack to drain away any excess goodness.
Heavenly Glaze: Combine the glaze ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer. Dip the warm doughnuts into this ambrosial glaze, allowing them to dry for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
