Hi Nancy,
The recipe below is the only one I could find. Hope that's it.
Phaed
Eggnog Doughnuts
1 C. commercial sour cream
1/4 C. butter or margarine
1/3 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/3 C. all-purpose flour, divided
2 pkg. dry yeast
3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 eggs
Vegetable oil
Eggnog Glaze
Combine eggnog, butter, sugar and salt in a small saucepan;
place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until
butter melts. Set aside and let cool to 105 to 115ºF.
Combine 2 cups flour, yeast and nutmeg; add warm eggnog
mixture, and mix well. Add eggs and beat at low speed with
an electric mixer 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly;
beat at high speed an additional 3 minutes. Stir in remaining
1 1/3 cups flour, mixing well. Place dough in a greased bowl,
turning to grease top. Cover and chill at least 2 to 3 hours.
Punch down dough, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Roll to 1/3-inch thickness, and cut with a floured doughnut
cutter. Place doughnuts several inches apart on a greased baking
sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85ºF), free from
drafts, about 45 to 50 minutes, until very light.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 375ºF. Add doughnuts,
a few at a time, and fry 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until golden brown
on both sides, turning once. Drain well on paper towels. While
still warm, dip top of each in Eggnog Glaze. Yields about 2 dozen.
Eggnog Glaze
2 C. sifted confectioners' sugar
3 T. commercial eggnog
Dash of ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients, and mix until smooth. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
