SOUR CREAM DONUTS
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t drool over a box full of colorful donuts. At my old job I had a boss that was a serious donut lover. He’d bring in a huge box of donuts at least monthly for the office–probably part of what made him so popular! It was always fun to see how particular everyone in the office was about their donuts—everyone seems to have their favorite.
When I go to a bakery I absolutely love seeing all of the fun donut flavors, glazes and fillings, but ultimately I get one of my two favorites every single time; a maple bar, or an old fashioned cake/sour cream donut. Out of all the choices in the world, I can never seem to steer away from those two!
This Old Fashioned Sour Cream Donuts recipe is a total classic. They are soft and cake-y, and who can resist that glaze they’re dipped in? Delicious! The best thing about these homemade donuts (besides how easy they are to make), is that you don’t have to wait hours for them to rise, and you don’t need a special donut pan to make them! They can be whipped together fairly quickly for your snarfing pleasure 😉
HOW TO MAKE SOUR CREAM DONUTS:
The ingredients for homemade donuts are flour, baking powder , salt, nutmeg, sugar, butter, egg yolks, sour cream, and oil. Making old fashioned donuts at home is fairly simple!
First, sift the dry ingredients together. Next, combine the butter and sugar. Then add the egg yolks, and mix it really well. Finally, you add the dry ingredients in batches alternating with the sour cream and ending with the dry mixture.
After letting the dough chill in the refrigerator, you roll it into 1/2 inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut about 12 donuts from the dough. Save the donut holes to fry them too! Fry them in oil, just until golden on both sides, flipping once.
Drizzle a simple glaze on top, and enjoy!
ARE DONUTS HEALTHY?
Unfortunately, these old fashioned sour cream donuts are not the healthiest snack or breakfast option. While donuts come in a variety of flavors and styles, most tend to be very high in sugar and very low in nutrients. So it’s best to save these old fashioned donuts for an occasional treat!

Ingredients
For the donuts
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter , room temperature
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sour cream

For the glaze
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar , sifted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup hot water
Instructions
- In a small bowl sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar together until well combined (the texture will be sandy).
- Add the egg yolks and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the sour cream, and ending with flour.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- When the dough is almost finished chilling, make the glaze by whisking together all ingredients in a large shallow bowl.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a donut cutter (or two round biscuit cutters) to cut as many donuts out as possible. You should get around 12.
- Pour about 2 inches of canola oil into a heavy bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 325° F. Fry the donuts 2-3 at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, being careful not to let them burn. Remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the grease.
- Place a wire cooling rack above a sheet pan. Dip donuts in the glaze, covering on each side, and place on the wire rack. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until glaze is set.
- Donuts are best served immediately, but you may store them in an air tight container at room temperature for a few days.
