How to Make Uncle Brian's Doughnuts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 7 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes. Add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking. (Depending on weather, up to one extra cup might be necessary for rolling.)
- Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use a 2 ½ - 3 inch doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts.
- Heat vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer.
- Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, toss the doughnuts in 1 cup granulated sugar.
