Icelandic donuts
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- Enough flour to roll (approx. 4 cups)
Directions
- Beat eggs slightly and add sugar and beat some more. Gradually add the sour cream mixed with soda and milk alternately with the dry ingredients. This will take about 4 1/2 cups of flour. Mix it and pour out onto the floured board and divide into three portions and roll each out to approx. 1/4 inch thick and cut into 1 inch wide strips and then into about 2 1/2 inch long pieces. Put a slit in the centre of each and fold one end through the slit.
- Fry in deep fat Crisco in an electric deep fryer at about 375 degrees. Keep turning them till they are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- After they have drained on paper towel, sprinkle with powdered sugar when ready to serve.
