Donut

I decided this beautiful Sunday to try my hand at making homemade Donuts. They turned out perfect, light and flavorful. The donut and frosting recipes are below. Have fun and enjoy.


 Donut







Mix the donut dry ingredients together first 1 Cup Sifted flour, 1Tbs Baking powder, 1 Tbs cinnamon and ½ tsp salt.






Mix wet donut ingredients 1 egg, ½ cup milk, 1 Tbs vanilla, and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Once that is mixed add ½ cup sugar.







Mix well and add to dry ingredients a little at a time while continuing to mix well. Here is where you can add additional flavor if you want. I added some peanut butter powder and some unsweetened cocoa powder to these homemade donuts. You can pick what flavors you want but be careful adding too much liquid or dry ingredients because it will change the thickness.


Once the homemade donut batter is combined you can put the batter in a 1 gallon storage bag. Cut the corner off and squeeze batter through hole into donut pan. Fill the molds only half full.
Bake the homemade donut batter on 425 degrees for 7-9 minutes.

Take the homemade donuts out of the oven and cool.


I used a old electric dual donut baking machine probably popular in the 70's or 80's. It worked great and the donuts were superb.
The homemade donut machine needed to be plugged in for 10 minutes to warm it up. I filled the bottom of the mold and closed the top and let it for 5 minutes.












Once cooled you can frost the homemade donuts the recipe is below.








Frosting

Mix ¼ stick of butter melted, 1 tps vanilla and ¼ cup powder sugar together. If more moisture is needed you can add some milk to thin it out. You can add flavors if you like. I added just some vanilla extract but you can add anything you would like. Melting some chocolate chips in it would have given it a rich chocolate flavor.






Enjoy
