Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup sifted powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
  • Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
  • Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
  • Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
  • Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

Yield 6 donuts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease or spray a non-stick 6 count doughnut pan. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Fill the pan three-quarters full in each well. Lightly sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
  • Recipe can easily be doubled. I baked for 12 minutes, but, depending on your stove temp, these might be better cooked for 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

This is a recipe adapted from the recipe that came on the back of the Nordicware dounut pan I bought at Target. I glaze them with my recipe Yummy Vanilla Glaze. Your donut yield will depend on how full you fill the donut cups in the pan. Somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 is about right.

Time 20m

Yield 12 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cake flour
1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F Grease and flour pan. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla; beat until just combined. Fill each well 2/3 full. Bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Cool 5 minutes in pan; invert onto cooling rack and cool completely. Glaze and decorate if desired.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the donuts rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the donuts tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the donuts. Overcooked donuts will be dry and crumbly.
  • Glaze the donuts while they are still warm. This will help the glaze set and prevent it from running off.
  • Get creative with your toppings. You can use sprinkles, nuts, or even bacon to top your donuts.

Conclusion:

Baked buttermilk donuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of donuts that will surely impress your family and friends.
