Baked Doughnuts

Oh la la la la. I have a new doughnut pan, so what do you think I've had for breakfast two days in a row? I love love love this recipe because you can glaze them, sugar them, or dip them in any crumbly goodness you desire.  This is just a basic doughnut recipe which you could play around with and make fun variations! To make these you will need a doughnut pan. Mine came from target and was about $10-$13.

Makes 6 doughnuts

You will need:
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp. milk
1 & 1/2 tsp. white vinegar
3/4 cup flour
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp. melted butter (I always add a little extra)

To start:
1. Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
2. Combine milk, vinegar, egg and melted butter. Make sure you whisk it well so that the butter mixes in completely.
3. in a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients and mix them well. Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.
4. Fill the doughnut pan. Mine was nonstick, but you may need to grease yours. To fill the pan you can either use a spoon or a piping bag.
5. Bake for 8 minutes in the center of the oven. Allow the doughnuts to cool completely before topping.

I topped some of these by brushing melted butter on the tops and dipping them in cinnamon sugar. On others added chocolate ganache frosting! The possibilities are endless.

Happy baking!
