• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• for rolling:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Mix starter, eggs, buttermilk and melted butter in a large bowl. Whisk together dry ingredients and then stir into the wet ingredients just until blended. The dough should be thick but loose enough to drop from a spoon. In a deep saucepan, heat canola oil to 325 F. Scoop out dough with a cookie scoop and drop gently into the oil. Fry 6 or 7 at a time until medium brown and cooked through. Transfer to a towel to drain and roll in cinnamon sugar as soon as they are cool enough to handle.
