Donuts:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat the donut baking tray with cooking spray.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together 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 for 9-10 minutes, or until the dough is set and springy (they won't be golden brown). Let them sit for 1-2 minutes then place the donuts on a baking rack to cool a bit.
Chocolate Glaze:
- 2 1/2 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
While the donuts are baking prepare the glaze.
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, 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.
To glaze the donuts, dip each one face-down into the glaze.
Immediately garnish with sprinkles then let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack right side up. Enjoy!!
