• 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.
• Add flour to egg mixture and stir until just combined (it will be sticky).
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, sprinkle additional flour over and roll dough out to 5/8 of an inch thick.
• 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.
• Make doughnut ‘holes’ with any bits remaining.

• Flour your surface and roll your dough out to 1/2" thick. Using a biscut cutter or glass, cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut out the holes. If you don't have a smaller one, a pill bottle works well too to cut out the holes. Use your imagination, you will find something.
• Heat about 2" of oil over low-medium heat to 325, use a candy thermometer for this. Don't have one? Get one! It can make all the difference in how a recipe turns out .When oil has reached 325 keep an eye on it! Once you have started heating your oil, DO NOT LEAVE IT, EVER! Bad things can happen, very bad!
