Ingredients
Donuts:
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter , room temperature
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- canola oil , for frying
Glaze:
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar , sifted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup hot water
Instructions
- Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until well combined (the texture will be sandy). Add the egg yolks and mix well.
- Combine in batches: Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the sour cream, and ending with flour.
- Chill: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap then chill for 1 hour.
- Form Donuts: Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter (or two round biscuit cutters) to cut as many donuts out as possible. You should get around 12.
- Fry: Pour about 2 inches of canola oil into a heavy bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 325° F. Fry 2-3 donuts at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Glaze: Whisk together glaze ingredients in a shallow bowl, until smooth. Place a wire cooling rack above a sheet pan. Dip donuts in the glaze, covering on each side, and place on the wire rack. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until glaze is set.

Notes
- Storing Instructions: Donuts are best enjoyed immediately, but may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
