The BEST old fashioned cake donut recipe!

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Oil, for frying
Cinnamon Sugar mix for coating the donuts (1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon)

DIRECTIONS:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, beat together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients.
Alternate adding the milk and flour mixture until everything is well combined. Knead for just a couple of minutes.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Use a donut cutter to cut donuts.
Add to a pot of 375 degree oil, just a few donuts at a time so as not to crowd the pan, and fry until golden, about 2 minutes each side.
Drain on a paper towel lined plate before tossing in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
Serve immediately.
