Sourdough Sams - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup sourdough starter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup buttermilk or 1/3 cup sour milk

Preparation

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.
Just before serving dust with powdered or cinnamon sugar.
NOTE:
These doughnuts are virtually greasless.
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.
