A sour cream doughnut is a special kind of doughnut. It gets its name because sour cream is mixed right into the dough! This makes the doughnut very moist and gives it a slightly tangy taste.
After these doughnuts are cooked, they are often dipped in a sweet glaze. This glaze usually tastes like vanilla. Unlike some other doughnuts, sour cream doughnuts usually do not have any filling inside.
People aren't exactly sure when or where the first sour cream doughnut was made. But we know that a recipe for this type of doughnut was printed a long time ago. It appeared in a cookbook in 1894. This book was put together by a group called the Ladies' Aid Society in Marion, Ohio.
Delicious Doughnut Varieties
Sour cream doughnuts can come in many tasty forms! While the classic vanilla glaze is popular, there are other fun ways to enjoy them.
Fun Flavor Combinations
One popular twist is a doughnut with a maple-flavored glaze. This often comes with a crunchy sugar-walnut streusel on top. Imagine the sweet maple with the nutty crunch! Another yummy option is a chocolate sour cream doughnut. This one might have a special chocolate orange glaze, mixing rich chocolate with a hint of citrus.
Simple Topping Ideas
If you prefer something simpler, sour cream doughnuts can also be topped with just powdered sugar. This gives them a light, sweet coating. Another choice is a mix of ground cinnamon and sugar. This adds a warm, spicy-sweet flavor that many people love.
