How To Make The Donuts

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉, lightly spray the pan's cavities, and set aside.
  • Sift dry ingredients and set them aside.
    2 cups All-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Whisk the Eggs, Sugar, Melted Butter, Milk, and Vanilla Extract until smooth and slightly light in colour.
    2 Eggs, ¾ cup Milk, ¼ cup Butter, ¼ cup Sour cream, ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • Add dry ingredients in two additions and gently mix. The batter will be fluffy and airy. Do not Overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the piping bag and cut the tip of the bag with scissors to an inch hole. Pipe the batter into the greased pan cavities to ⅔ of their capacity. It is essential not to overfill the cavities.
  • Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes. You can test their doneness by gently pressing their top; if it bounces, they are ready. Similarly, if an insert comes out clean, they are ready. Let The Best Baked Donuts cool in the pan for five minutes, then flip them to a cooling rack to cool down.
  • Melt two tablespoons of butter and brush the donuts with butter using a bakery brush. This will help the cinnamon sugar stick to the donuts better.In a shallow bowl, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar. Use your hand or another clean and dry brush to apply the sugar to the donuts while the butter is still warm.
    2 tablespoon Butter, ½ cup Granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon Cinnamon

How To Make The Sugar Glaze

  • Whisk all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and drizzly. Add more milk if it is too stif and more powdered sugar if it is too runny.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, 3 tablespoon Milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • If you want to apply this glaze, after the donuts are cool after baking, dip them into this glaze and place them on a rack for the glaze to drip off.

How To Make The Chocolate Glaze

  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler until smooth and lump-free.
    1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate, 1 tablespoon Butter
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk and vanilla. Dip the donuts in the chocolate mixture and place them on the rack to drip off the excess chocolate.
    2 tablespoon Heavy cream, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
