  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter

Sweeteners and Flavoring:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Leavening and Seasoning:

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  1. Heat the oven to 350F (180C) and prepare a donut pan by lightly coating with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Gently fold wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
  5. Transfer batter into donut pan cavities, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking.
  6. Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a golden edges and a springy surface when lightly pressed.
  7. Remove pan from oven and let donuts rest for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to set and contract slightly from pan edges.

  9. Allow donuts to cool completely on a wire rack before adding any optional glazes or toppings.

Notes

  • Adjust the texture by using whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour alternatives for different dietary needs.
  • Experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor profile of the donuts.
  • Prevent sticking by generously greasing the donut pan with cooking spray or butter, ensuring easy removal.
  • Cool donuts completely before adding glazes or toppings to maintain their perfect shape and prevent moisture buildup.
