Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for glaze

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional: Prepare a glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and a little milk, then dip or drizzle onto the cooled donuts.

Notes

Store leftover donuts in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days or freeze unglazed donuts for up to 2 months. If using a muffin tin, adjust baking time to 15-18 minutes.
