Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks (yolks only)
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream (full fat works best)
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch (optional - gives the donuts a softer texture inside)
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (sifted or whisked to remove any lumps)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Cream the butter, sugar and egg yolks until pale. Mix in the sour cream, baking powder and salt.
- Whisk the flour and cornstarch together. Add to the wet mixture about a cup at a time, mixing until no flour streaks remain. The dough will be sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a plastic-lined bowl, cover with the wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
- Heat oil in a heavy pot to 365°F. Set a wire rack over paper towels nearby.
- Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out donuts and holes and brush off excess flour.
- Fry a few at a time for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through; fry the holes about 1 minute per side. Drain on the rack and cool.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla into a smooth glaze. Dip each donut on both sides and return to the rack until the glaze sets.
