instructions

Make it!

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil your donut baking pans.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, oil and sugars until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, mixing to combine.
  • Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fill your donut pans 3/4 full with the donut batter. I used a piping bag with pretty nice results.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not overbake!
  • Remove donuts from pans and let cool on wire racks.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: whisk together icing sugar, vanilla extract, milk and desired food colouring until smooth.
  • Once donuts are cool, dunk the donuts into the glaze. Add sprinkles if so desired!
