Baked Vanilla Doughnuts

Ingredients

For the doughnuts:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon butter melted

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 – 2 teaspoons heavy cream or milk
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a doughnut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in milk, eggs, vanilla and butter. Beat together until well blended.
  3. Use a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off) to pipe the batter into a 6-doughnut pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
  4. To make glaze, blend confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream, starting with 1 teaspoon and adding more as needed. Dip each doughnut into the glaze and put sprinkles on top.
