How to Make a Donut?

1. Whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy, then add the sour cream and mix.
2. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon and knead until well combined.
3. If you get a very runny dough, add a little more flour and continue kneading.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough until it is well combined and homogeneous, then roll it out to a thickness of 5–10 mm (about half a centimeter to one centimeter).
5. Cut out circles from the dough using a cake tin of your desired size, then use a much smaller cutter (or a soda bottle cap) to make a hole in the center of each circle.
6. After cutting all the dough into rings, fry them in hot oil in a deep pan until golden brown on both sides (~2 minutes).
7. Remove the browned pastries to a paper towel and let them drain until the excess oil is absorbed.
8. Then coat them in sugar (or your desired topping) and serve while still slightly warm.
9. My doughnuts rose beautifully because I added some Instant Yeast (which I used beforehand) to the dough! I think yours will rise nicely even if you don't add it.
10. Bon Appetit.
