Ingredients

4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup buttermilk
Oil for deep-fat frying
Optional: cinnamon-sugar or confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and lemon-colored. Add butter and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; add to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk. Refrigerate, covered, 2-3 hours.
Turn onto a floured surface, roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. doughnut cutter.
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, dip warm doughnuts in cinnamon-sugar, confectioners' sugar or additional sugar to coat both sides.
