buttermilk. Stir into the sugar mixture. Combine the flour, baking
powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir into the liquid

thickness. Cut into doughnuts. Allow the cut doughnuts to dry for 10

be at room temperature before frying. Dip a metal pancake turner into
the hot oil each time before using it to move or turn a doughnut.
Transfer the doughnuts to the skillet, one every 15 seconds. Fry each
doughnut about 90 seconds per side. Remove the doughnuts and drain on
paper towelling.
