Title: Sourdough Sams
Categories: Breads
Servings: 4

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