The sour cream and buttermilk are key ingredients for achieving this vintage recipe&#8217;s taste and texture. Both ingredients enrich the dough with fat which makes the dough incredibly moist and tender. They also lend a subtle tang to the doughnut flavor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Another defining feature of an old-fashioned doughnut is its appearance. Unlike cake and yeast doughnuts, old-fashioned doughnuts should have a rough and craggy exterior with a slight crispness. This unusual appearance is due to the fact that they are typically deep-fried at a lower temperature than other doughnut recipes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Ingredients for\u00a0Old-Fashioned Doughnuts<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1885289 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/how-to-make-glazed-old-fashioned-doughnuts-TOHcom23_272792_P2_MD_04_19_1b.png?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"How To Make Glazed Old Fashioned Doughnuts\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">Sour cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Buttermilk<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">All-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Baking powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Oil for deep-fat frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong> Glaze:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">Confectioners&#8217; sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Water<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In a large bowl, beat the sour cream and buttermilk\u00a0until smooth.
