Sour Cream Donuts Recipe are soft, sweet and so easy to make at home. They taste just like bakery donuts but fresher and warmer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 –3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Mix them well with a whisk.
Beat Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk sour cream, eggs, melted butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Combine Dough
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix slowly. Stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix it.
Chill the Dough
- Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes. This makes shaping easier.
Roll the Dough
- Dust your surface with flour. Roll the dough to medium thickness. Not too thin.
Cut Donuts
- Use a donut cutter to cut out donut rings. Place them on a tray.
Heat the Oil
- Warm oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Do not make the oil too hot.
Fry the Donuts
- Add donuts gently into the oil. Fry each side for 1–2 minutes until golden.
Drain the Donuts
- Remove donuts with a slotted spoon. Place them on a cooling rack.
Make the Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust milk for thickness.
Dip the Donuts
- Dip warm donuts into the glaze. Let extra glaze drip off for clean coating.
Let Them Set
- Place donuts back on the rack. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use cold dough for the best shape.
- Do not overmix, or the donuts become dense.
- Keep oil at medium heat for even cooking.
- Glaze the donuts while they are warm.
- Use fresh sour cream for the best flavor.
