1/2 c Active Sourdough Starter

1/2 c Sugar

2 T Shortening

2 c Unbleached Flour

1 t Baking Powder

1 ea Large Egg

1/2 t Nutmeg

1/4 t Cinnamon

1/2 t Baking Soda

1/2 t 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 greaseless. 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.
