Old Fashioned Sour Cream Donuts?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

this is my grandma's recipe... the doughnuts turn out great!! :))

One pint sour milk, one cup sugar, two eggs, one teaspoon soda, half cup lard, nutmeg to flavor. Mix [with flour] to a moderately stiff dough, roll to half inch in thickness, cut in rings or twists, drop into boiling lard, and fry to a light brown...

German Doughnut :

One pound and a quarter of flour, three-quarters of sugar, two ounces butter, half a teacup of cream, half a teaspoonful of soda, with the same quantity of cream of tartar; then add three eggs well beaten. Fry.

~~
Sour Cream and Buttermilk Doughnut :

One cup sugar, two eggs, one pint equal parts sour cream and buttermilk, one teaspoon soda, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste, flour sufficient for a soft dough.
If sour cream is not at hand, use sufficient shortening to make it equal.

~~
Raspberry Doughnut :

Take the same mixture as for plain doughnuts, roll it out rather thinly and stamp into rounds, put a little raspberry jam on half the rounds, brush the edges with water and cover with the remainder, press them firmly together and fry in hot fat five minutes. Sprinkle with sugar.

There are many recipes for these on line.
The glaze can be as thick or thin as you like it and has nothing to do with the donut recipe itself.
