Instructions
For the Donuts:
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine cake flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment combine sugar, butter and shortening. Beat on a medium-high speed until smooth. Add in egg yolks and mix until just incorporated.
- Add sour cream and vinegar and mix to combine. Add in the flour mixture and mix until just until combined. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In the meantime, in a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F.
- Turn the chilled dough out onto a clean, well-floured surface. Press the dough out into a ¾” thick. Use a donut cutter to cut out as many donuts as you can. Form the remaining dough back together and repeat the process until all the dough has been used.
- To fry the donuts, carefully place 2-3 donuts at a time into the preheated oil and fry for 2 minutes per side. Flip and fry the other side for 2 minutes. Once fried, carefully remove the donut from the pot and place into a cooling rack.
For the Glaze
- In a large mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Whisk
together until smooth. - Dip the warm donuts into the glaze, then place into a wire cooling rack to let the excess drip off.
