  • For ice cream and doughnut aficionados

    This is one heck of a great homemade ice cream recipe.

    And this is supposed to be Brigham Young's doughnut recipe:


    Brigham Young's doughnuts

    5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    2 teaspoons baking soda

    1 teaspoon salt

    1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

    2 cups buttermilk

    2 large eggs, beaten

    1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

    6 tablespoons butter, melted

    Oil, for frying

    Granulated or powdered sugar, optional

    Ground cinnamon, optional

    In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In
    another large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs and sugar. Add melted
    butter to liquid mixture and whisk again. Add dry ingredients to the wet
    mixture and gently stir together with a spoon. Do not use an electric
    mixture. Dough will be sticky. Let it rest 5 minutes before rolling or
    easier handling.

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat several inches of vegetable oil to 375
    degrees.

    Roll out dough on a well-floured board until 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Cut
    with a 2-inch doughnut cutter. Form scraps into a ball and roll again. Cut
    again. Carefully place three or four cut pieces of dough into the hot oil.
    When doughnuts start to crack on top, turn. Cook on the second side until
    golden and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
    Repeat until all remaining pieces of dough are cooked.

    Doughnuts may be served plain, or while they are still warm, roll in sugar
    or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
