Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (it's okay if there are some lumps).
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out the doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or a large round cookie cutter and a smaller cookie cutter for the center hole.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Drain the doughnuts on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar or glaze with your favorite glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
