Icelandic Donuts



Ingredients

 * 3 eggs
 * 1 cup sour cream
 * 1 cup milk or buttermilk
 * 2 tsp. soda
 * 1 tsp. salt
 * 1 tsp. cream of tartar
 * 1 1/2 cups Sugar
 * 1 tsp. vanilla
 * 1 tsp. nutmeg
 * Enough flour to roll (approx. 4 cups)

Directions

 * 1) Beat eggs slightly and add sugar and beat some more. Gradually add the sour cream mixed with soda and milk alternately with the dry ingredients. This will take about 4 1/2 cups of flour. Mix it and pour out onto the floured board and divide into three portions and roll each out to approx. 1/4 inch thick and cut into 1 inch wide strips and then into about 2 1/2 inch long pieces. Put a slit in the centre of each and fold one end through the slit.
 * 2) Fry in deep fat Crisco in an electric deep fryer at about 375 degrees. Keep turning them till they are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
 * 3) After they have drained on paper towel, sprinkle with powdered sugar when ready to serve.
