Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 ounces unsalted butter (softened but not melted)
5 ounces granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
6 ounces buttermilk (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
15 ounces All-Purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
32 ounces lard or oil (for frying (4 cups))
5 ounces powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk (or water)
4 ounces chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon corn syrup (or glucose/honey)
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle or the whisk attachment, cream the softened butter and the sugar on medium high speed until the mixture is light in color and fluffy.
  • While mixing on low, add in one egg, let it mix in and then add in the second egg and mix on medium speed until everything is smooth and combined
  • Add in the buttermilk and the vanilla and mix until combined
  • While mixing on low, add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg and mix until the dough is combined. Do not over-mix. The dough will be sticky.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the sticky dough to the floured surface.
  • Press the dough down lightly until its about 1" thick.
  • Fold the dough over onto itself 3-4 times until the dough is smooth.
  • Flatten the dough down to about 1/2" or use a rolling pin. Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes while your oil is heating up.
  • Turn on your FryDaddy or begin heating your oil to 360ºF-375ºF (182ºC -190ºC). Set up a draining station for the donuts by placing a cooling rack over a sheet pan to catch the oil.
  • Use a donut cutter or ring cutter to cut out the donuts. You can press together the scraps and roll them out again to get as many donuts as you can. Just keep in mind the more you work the dough, the tougher the donuts will get.
  • Add the donut to the hot oil using your slotted spoon to lower it gently. Fry the donut for 2 minutes then flip it over and fry it for 1 more minute.
  • Fry your donut holes for about 1 minute, stirring and pushing them down with your spoon until golden brown on the outsides.
  • Transfer the dough to a cooling rack over a sheet pan to let the oil drain away from the donut
  • Once your donuts are cooked you can roll them in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, glaze them with donut glaze or chocolate glaze!
  • Store donuts in a paper bag at room temperature for up to two days. They are best eaten fresh! Do not refrigerate.
  • Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and add the milk (or water). Whisk together to combine, add more powdered sugar to make it thicker or more milk to make it thinner.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add the heavy cream, butter and corn syrup to the chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir together until the chocolate is melted. Microwave for another 15 seconds if needed.

BAKED CAKE DONUTS



Baked Cake Donuts image

While cake donuts are traditionally fried, they're just as delicious baked in the oven, with far less cleanup. Toss in powdered sugar or finish with a simple glaze and sprinkles or toasted coconut -- you can't go wrong!

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush two standard donut pans with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium; add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, and beat just until combined.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of bag. Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans. Bang pans several times on counter to release air bubbles.
  • Bake until tops of donuts spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. To decorate, see Variations below.
