Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or melted butter to ensure the donuts don't stick.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or a whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick but smooth.
Pour the batter into a piping bag or a zippered plastic bag with the corner snipped off for easy filling. Pipe the batter evenly into the donut cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the donuts can be enjoyed plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or glazed with your favorite topping!
