Soft, fluffy angel-food shouldn't be limited just to full-out cakes. These scratch-made doughnuts will give you your angel-food fix in a much smaller package. An angelic dusting of powdered sugar is a great way to finish them off.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

5 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup real sour cream
1 1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk

directions

Place the eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat until light colored.

In another bowl, combine the sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour.

In a small bowl, combine the vanilla, sour cream, and sour milk and mix until smooth.

Add the flour mixture and sour cream mixture alternately to eggs, stirring well after each addition.

Heat oil or lard in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F. When the oil is hot, form the dough into doughnuts and gently place a few at a time in the hot oil. Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning the doughnuts as needed.

Remove the doughnuts from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle the warm doughnuts with powdered sugar while still warm, if desired.

When the angel food doughnuts are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
