• Mix all dry ingredients seperately and add into wet mixture.
• Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface about 3/4 inches thick.
• Cut with a doughnut cutter.
• Fry in deep hot fat.
• Deep fat should be temp of 370 degrees.
• Turn once to brown both sides.
• Place onto paper towels to drain.
• Sprinkle or dust with granulated sugar, powdered icing sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla until mixture is pale and thick; add sour cream and combine well.
• Sift flour together with baking powder, baking soda, salt and cardamon.

• Cut as many rounds as possible with a 3 inch cutter dipped in flour, and cut out centers too.
• Gather the scraps into a ball, reroll and cut out more doughnuts in the same manner.

• Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• If desired, while still warm, dredge with sugar, shaking off excess.

Steps:

• on a candy thermometer.
• Or until a soft ball forms in cold water.
