# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
03 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure tender texture.
04 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll to approximately 1/2 inch thickness (about 1.25 cm). Use a 3-inch donut cutter to cut out shapes.
05 - Preheat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
06 - Fry donuts in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
07 - Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
08 - Dip warm donuts into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off, then set on a wire rack to cool and set.
09 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Toss warm donuts in the mixture until evenly coated if preferred over glaze.
