Look yummy? It was an early morning around here, so the kids and I set out to make some donuts. It’s actually very easy and kid friendly!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup (or more) powdered sugar, depending on the consistency you’d like
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons whipping cream
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 and lightly grease a donut pan.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and butter, whisking to combine.
- Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon. The batter will be thick.
- Scoop batter into a large Ziploc bag. Snip end of bag and pipe into donut pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- To make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until smooth. Add more liquid or powdered sugar as needed to get the consistency you prefer.
- Allow donuts to cool on wire cooling rack until cool enough to dip into the icing.
- Place dipped donuts back onto rack to allow the excess icing to drip off.
- Decorate with sprinkles if you dare!
