Glazed Baked Donut Recipe
Perfect on their own, or they make the perfect cake decoration!
Ingredients
Ingredients For 12x Donuts
- 180 g Plain Flour
- 105 g Caster Sugar
- 1 Large Egg (65g)
- 115 g Salted Butter
- ¼ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 100 g Buttermilk
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Ingredients For Glaze
- 150 g Icing Sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla (or flavouring of your choice)
- Food Gel Colour of your choice
Instructions
- Add all the dry ingredients together in one bowl and all the wet ingredients into another bowl (saving the ingredients for the glaze until later).
- Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring as you go.
- Place the mixture into a piping bag and fill up each donut shape in your tin, filling half way.
- Place into a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 – 12 minutes. If you are using a fan oven reduce the temperature to 160 degrees Celsius.
- Once baked leave the donuts to cool.
- For the glaze sift the icing sugar into a bowl and slowly add the milk.
- Once you get a thick glaze that falls off the spoon your glaze is ready (you may not need all the milk). The thinner the glaze the more opaque.
- Add any food gel colour of your choice.
- Dip your donut into your glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, before placing it down, adding any sprinkles and leaving it around 20 – 30 minutes for the glaze to dry.
Notes
These donuts are perfect to add to a dessert table, to add into treat boxes or to use to decorate your cakes. You can make then in any colour to match your theme and finish them off with some pretty sprinkles.
Plus don't forget I've used vanilla flavouring, but you can make them in any flavour your like!
