the author of one of my favorite, favorite recipe blogs the novice chef recently wrote a mini donut cookbook and i won a signed copy! i was so excited because i got an electric mini donut maker last christmas and i've barely used it. she has so many yummy recipes in the book, i can't wait to try more of them. these buttermilk donuts are moist and delicious - i love baking with buttermilk.
ingredients:
1 1/3 cups flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup buttermilk
for the icing:
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
food coloring, if desired
directions:
if using an electric donut maker, preheat according to manufacturer's instructions. if using donut pans, preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease donut pans.
in a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. set aside. in a medium bowl, whisk together egg and sugar. then, add sour cream, oil, and vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined. gently stir in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, stirring until there are no large lumps.
if using mini-donut pans: carefully fill each donut indentation 3/4 full. bake for 7-9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. transfer donuts to a cooling rack and let cool completely. if using an electric mini donut pan: carefully fill each donut indentation 3/4 full. bake according to manufacturer's instructions or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean {i baked mine for 5 minutes}. remove donuts from appliance, transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool completely.
place wax paper under a wire rack to collect any drippings for an easy cleanup. then, in a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and vanilla. add powdered sugar, whisking until smooth. dip the top of each donut into the icing, transfer to a wire rack, and let set for 5 minutes. serve immediately; donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days but are best served fresh.
*the frosting looks so so pretty on the donuts, but i think next time i will drizzle it on the donuts instead of dipping them because it's so sweet - so keep that in mind when making your donuts!
