I love donuts! Unfortunately, fried donuts don’t love me back. I’ve had cake donuts in a donut shop, but they typically aren’t glazed and are not if fun flavors.

What I love about my baked donuts is that you can add different extracts to flavor the donuts and glaze. But you can also do other add-ins like chocolate chips. This recipe is a great jumping off point. Share pictures of your donuts!

Course: Beginnings, Endings, Everything Else

Cuisine: American

Keyword: baked, donuts

Servings: 12 donuts

Equipment

• 1 Donut Pan

Ingredients

Donuts

• 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar
• 2 Tbs. Unsalted Butter, melted
• 3/4 Cup Whole Milk
• 2 large Eggs, room temperature
• 2 tsps. Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Fine Sea Salt

Glaze

• 1 1/2 cups Confectioners' Sugar
• 3 Tbs Whole Milk
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract or other flavoring

Instructions

Donuts

• Preheat oven to 350° and spray 2 donut pans with non-stick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter and milk. Add eggs and combine well. Whisk in vanilla.
• In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.

  Alternating with milk mixture, stir flour mixture into sugar/butter mixture. Start and finish with dry ingredients. Do not over work.
• Evenly distribute batter between donut pan openings. I like to use a pastry bag and pipe it in.

  Bake at 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. They will be deceiving, don't over bake

  Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out and cool completely on rack.
  

Glaze

• In a small bowl, milk into Confectioners' sugar to desired consistency. Add in your flavoring.

  Dip donuts in glaze and twist as you come up. Sprinkle with dusting sugar.
