Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or use a silicone donut baking mold.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted unsalted butter. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each well about 2/3 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until they spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the top side of each donut into the glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack for the glaze to set. If desired, repeat the glazing process for a thicker glaze.
Serve the donuts immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
