Thank you for the, in my opinion, best Sour Cream Donut recipe. They turned out perfect for me.
I made these for my coworkers and they were a big huge hit. The only thing I did different was I put in 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg, and rolled them in Brown sugar & Cinnamon, which in my opinion, just adds to the flavor.

My son and I made these donuts over the weekend, and they are spectacular!

Hi Tori! Hmm this should not have happened, my best guess would be that either an ingredient was accidentally not-doubled or the oil was too cold. I hope that helps!

Hi! Yesterday I tried this recipe and they came out perfect even without retuning the dough to the fridge after cutting out. This morning I went ahead and doubled the recipe as I own a small homestead doughnut business and I chilled the dough for 1 hr but am for some reason maybe because I doubled it and should’ve chilled the dough longer the doughnuts became saturated in oil?! Any advice?

This is my favorite sour cream donut recipe! My whole family agrees. I have to make a double batch each time. They also stay fresh in a sealed container! Thank you for this recipe!!

Great recipe! Followed to a T and they were perfect. This was my first time making real donuts and I was very happy with how they came out…. just like the cake donuts in our local donut shop in TX! I also didn’t have a donut cutter and I also don’t even have a circle cookie cutter….(don’t judge me!) I used a very wide mouth cup and a shot glass to cut out the hole. Worked great!

We don’t recommend it, Dian! Give our baked donuts a try instead 😊

Can this dough be baked instead of fried? TIA.

Hi Owen! It’s best to limit the time in the refrigerator to reduce risks of drying the dough out. You could try to keep them overnight in an airtight container, but we aren’t sure how it would go. If you do try it, we would love to know how it turns out. 🙂

Regarding step #6: Could the dough be left in the fridge overnight?

I’d love to fry these fresh for breakfast/brunch some time but don’t think I would have the wherewithal to both fry them and make the dough right away in the morning.

Could I use Sunflower oil instead of Canola Oil?

In reply to Macy.

Glad you enjoyed the flavor! Sour cream donuts are by nature heavier/denser than classic yeast-raised donuts, it sounds like you might be looking for that recipe instead 🙂

By: Macy

Macy — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 17:34:46 +0000

Just okay. Followed the recipe to a T and they just didn’t have the texture I was hoping for. They still seemed too heavy for my families liking. Oh well! The flavor was good though!

I have yogurt! Omg thank you so much, I’ve tried your donut and it’s sooooo good which makes me want to make more but I run out of sour cream, gladly I have yogurt😊

I’m not sure how buttermilk will work in this recipe as I haven’t tested it that way. Plain Greek yogurt would work as a 1:1 substitute, if you have that on hand.

can i substitute buttermilk coz i dont have sour cream and how much buttermilk should i use?

In reply to lola.

Oh no! How was the dough for you? Was it easily manageable/easy to cut out and was it still cold when the donuts were added to the oil? Were any substitutions made? And was the oil at the proper temperature? I’d love to help you troubleshoot!
