Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ⅓ cup golden brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ⅔ cup all purpose flour

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!
