Baked Ultimate Doughnuts with Vanilla finish

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: Makes 12 Doughnuts

Ingredients

For the Doughnuts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
For the Glaze
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
• In a small saucepan bring together the milk, white vinegar, vanilla, egg, and butter.
• Cook over medium-heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the butter melts, about one minute. Remove from heat.
• Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture; mix until combined.
• Using a large tablespoon, spoon the doughnut mixture into an ungreased doughnut pan.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
• While the doughnuts are cooling, begin to work on the glaze.
Glaze
• Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium-heat, stirring constantly just until combined and no lumps appear.
• Set the saucepan over a bowl filled with hot water.
• Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, one at a time, and set on a rack, glaze side up. Put something underneath the rack because some of that glaze will drip off.
• Give it a few minutes before you dig in.
