Equipment

  • Donut Pan
  • Small Pot
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients

Donuts:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter melted

Chocolate Glaze:

  • 2½ tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 oz semisweet bar or chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp hot water
  • Sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat the donut baking tray with cooking spray.
  • Make the donuts by mixing the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Add the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the batter into a large zip lock bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and pipe the batter evenly into a 6-cup donut pan.
  • Bake the donuts in the oven for 9-10 minutes or until the dough is set and springy (it won't be golden brown).
  • Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then place the donuts on a baking rack to cool a bit.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate glaze in a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water, and melt the butter and chocolate chips (if using a bar, chop them into small pieces).
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and hot water until smooth.
  • Glaze the donuts by dipping each one face-down into the glaze.
  • Immediately garnish with sprinkles, then let them cool on a wire rack, chocolate side up. Enjoy!!
