Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Additional granulated sugar (for coating)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with non-stick spray or melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The doughnuts should be lightly golden.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
While the doughnuts are still warm, brush each one lightly with melted butter and then roll them in granulated sugar until fully coated.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
