Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2 tbsp milk for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your doughnuts will bake evenly and rise properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each cavity of the doughnut pan about 2/3 full with the batter. This will allow space for the doughnuts to rise without overflowing.
- Place the filled doughnut pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the doughnuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Once the doughnuts are completely cool, dip the tops of each doughnut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed doughnuts back on the wire rack to let the glaze set.
- After the glaze has set, your yeast-free glazed doughnuts are ready to be served! Enjoy them fresh, or store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter mixing and even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter - a few lumps are your friend for tender doughnuts.
- For perfectly shaped doughnuts, use a piping bag or carefully spoon the batter into the pan.
- Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean when the doughnuts are ready.
- Let the doughnuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
- Experiment with glaze flavors by adding a drop of extract or food coloring.
- For extra richness, brush the warm doughnuts with melted butter before glazing.
- Store in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for maximum freshness.
