1 cup buttermilk |
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |

2. Sift together flour, soda, salt, and spices; add to creamed mixture, beating well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
3. Divide dough in half. Working with one portion at a time, place dough on a heavily floured surface; roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured doughnut cutter.
