Equipment
- large bow
- deep fryer or a deep skillet
Ingredients
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 eggs
- 3 cup Sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Lard
- 2 Quart vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and use a donut cutter or large round cookie cutter to cut out the donuts.
- In a deep fryer or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully add 3-4 donuts to the hot oil at a time, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- While the donuts are still warm, toss them in a bowl of sugar until they are evenly coated.
- Serve the donuts warm and enjoy!
Notes
• Make sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the donuts.
• If the donuts are cooking too quickly, turn the heat down a bit.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the donuts.
• You can also add a few drops of food coloring to the dough for a fun twist.
• If the donuts are too greasy, place them on a wire rack for a few minutes before coating with sugar.
• If the donuts are too moist, bake them in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for a few minutes.
