Resift flour with baking powder, soda, salt, and spice. Beat egg; beat in sugar. Combine with sourdough starter, milk, and oil. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix to moderately stiff dough. Roll out to about 5/8 inch thickness. Cut with doughnut cutter. Place doughnuts on lightly greased baking sheet; cover and let rise in a warm place about 30-40 minutes. Carefully lift off doughnuts with a spatula and drop into deep fat heated to 370 degrees. Fry to a rich golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
