Sour Cream Donuts with Fresas con Crema

Sour Cream Cake Donuts

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3-1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; make a well in the center and set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream together eggs, sugar and vanilla until pale and thick. Slowly add in melted butter and beat until combined. Add the crema agria and beat until smooth and completely combined.

Pour wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.

Spoon dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap up tight. Refrigerate the donut dough for at least one hour.

When you are ready to cook your donuts, add about 2 inches of oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat over medium to 350°F.

While oil is heating up, lightly flour (with remining flour) a cool work surface and turn donut dough out. Dust the top with flour and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a donut cutter, cut out donuts and set the donut holes aside.

Once oil is heated, gently place donuts and donut holes into the oil to cook. Once donuts float nicely to the top, allow them to cook for about 1 more minute before flipping and frying for an additional minute on the other side. You can always look to see the color before flipping to check that donuts are a nice light golden brown before flipping. Donut holes will take less time to cook.

Once cooked, remove with a slotted spoon allowing donuts to drip off any excess oil into the pot. Place cooked donuts onto a wire rack with paper towel underneath to cool and absorb excess oil. They will be extremely hot, take care not to burn yourself!
