Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (150 ml) whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating:
- Powdered sugar (amount not specified in original recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and thoroughly coating the donut pan with non-stick spray, ensuring even distribution using a paper towel.
- Combine all dry ingredients – flour, nutmeg, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt – in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- In a separate container, whisk liquid components including milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the liquid mixture, stirring with a spatula until ingredients are just incorporated without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into a ziplock bag, snipping one corner to create a piping tool. Carefully distribute batter into donut wells, filling each cavity approximately two-thirds full.
- Place the prepared pan into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, checking donuts’ readiness by inserting a toothpick which should emerge clean when done.
- Allow donuts to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, enabling them to set and cool slightly.
- Invert the donut pan over a clean surface, gently tapping to release the baked donuts.
- Create a coating station using a ziplock bag filled with powdered sugar. While donuts remain warm, individually tumble each donut in the sugar, ensuring complete coverage.
- For enhanced sugar adherence, optionally brush donuts with melted butter before the final powdered sugar coating.
Notes
- These homemade powdered sugar donuts deliver bakery-style taste right from your home kitchen with minimal effort and maximum deliciousness.
- Perfectly moist and tender, these donuts bake in just 10-11 minutes, making them a quick breakfast or delightful sweet treat anytime.
- Coating the donuts while still warm ensures the powdered sugar sticks beautifully, creating a classic, nostalgic dessert experience.
- Using a ziplock bag for both batter piping and sugar coating provides mess-free preparation and easy cleanup.
- For best results, avoid overmixing the batter and fill donut wells only 1/2 to 3/4 full to prevent overflow during baking.
- Lightly brushing donuts with melted butter helps powdered sugar adhere more effectively if the first coating doesn’t stick well.
