Description
Delicious and fluffy cloud-like vanilla donuts that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the glaze and let them sit on the wire rack for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- You can also top the glazed donuts with sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture and visual appeal.
