Instructions: Confectioners or granulated sugar to sprinkle over doughnuts

Combine the buttermilk, egg, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg, then mix in. Stir in the melted butter. Turn dough out on a floured pastry cloth, pat into a ball, and roll around on cloth so dough is lightly floured all over. Roll out with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter, then fry doughnuts and "holes" in deep hot fat (375)

about 3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Re-roll scraps, cut, and fry.

Drain doughnuts on heavy paper and, while still hot, sprinkle with sugar.
