Buttermilk Doughnuts

• 4 large eggs
• 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

1. 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.
2. Turn onto a floured surface, roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. doughnut cutter.
3. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. 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.
