Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup buttermilk
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons McCormick® ranch dressing mix
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
4 strips bacon
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 6-donut pans with nonstick spray.
  • Make the donuts: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. Add the cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour and whisk to combine.
  • Fill each mold of the prepared donut pans with 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture.
  • Bake the donuts until puffed and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • While the donuts bake, make the cheese sauce: Cook 4 strips of bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning often, until crispy, 7-8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the rendered fat behind in the pan. Chop the bacon into fine crumbles, then set aside.
  • To the pan with the reserved bacon fat, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese and whisk until melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Top each donut with a large spoonful of the cheese sauce, the crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of chives.
  • Enjoy!
