Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles or other toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  5. Fill the donut pan. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off, then pipe into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake the donuts. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The donuts should have sprung up.
  7. Cool the donuts. Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired glaze consistency.
  9. Add color and glaze donuts. If desired, add food coloring to the glaze and dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, letting excess drip off.
  10. Add toppings. Optionally, decorate glazed donuts with sprinkles or other toppings.
  11. Set the glaze. Let the glaze set for a few minutes to firm up before serving.
  12. Serve and enjoy. Enjoy your freshly baked and beautifully glazed donuts!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts tender and light.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, you can spoon the batter carefully into the pan but piping ensures even distribution.
  • Feel free to customize the glaze with different food coloring or extracts like almond or lemon.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat slightly before glazing for best results if donuts are chilled.
