Title: Sourdough Sams
Categories: Breads
Servings: 4

1/2 c Active Sourdough Starter 1/2 c Sugar
2 T Shortening 2 c Unbleached Flour
1 t Baking Powder 1 ea Large Egg
1/2 t Nutmeg 1/4 t Cinnamon
1/2 t Baking Soda 1/2 t Salt
1/3 c Buttermilk or Sour Milk

Sift dry ingredients, stir into liquid, roll out and cut with regular
donut cutter. Then heat some oil in a deep fryer to 390 degrees F and fry.

Makes about 17 Doughnuts with holes. Just before serving dust with
powdered or cinnamon sugar.

NOTE:
These doughnuts are virtually greasless. And if you want you can make
several batches at a time and freeze. They keep well and to me taste
after a while in the freezer. Take out as many as needed and thaw and put
sugar on or eat plain.
