Merry Christmas, everyone!
And since you’ve all been very good this year, I’m going to
give you all a special treat.. What if I told you guys that you could go from
zero to donuts in about 25 minutes?
I will give you that secret. It’s a Christmas miracle!!
These are the best donuts ever. They are so good that they
make grown men jump up and down with glee. They are so good that I bought a
SECOND donut pan so that I could make them more
efficiently. Donut pan you say? Yes, these are baked in the oven, so you need a little mould to make the shape, but it's well worth it!
Simply put, they are wonderful and special and great and I
love them. In the madness of the Boxing Day sales, try and source a donut pan –
you will NOT be sorry. I got mine on amazon for less than a tenner and I WILL
use it a lot.
Ingredients
- 290g plain flour
- 175g caster sugar
- 50g brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 300ml milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Ingredients for the coating
- 4 tbsp butter
- 50g caster sugar
- 50g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (don’t scrimp on this!)
Method
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Mix together the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter (I tend to melt it all together, so 6 tbsp
total) and add the 2tbsp to the milk and egg in a separate bowl. Mix together.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Use some of the melted butter to grease up your donut pan,
then pour in the batter so that the holes are filled about 2/3 full.
Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the sugars and cinnamon on a plate
for the coating.
Remove carefully from the pan, they won’t slide out, but
they’re quite robust and won’t break either.
I used a plastic butter knife to go around the outside and
loosen them and they came out quite easily.
Brush the donut with melted butter (don’t dip!).
Then roll in the sugary cinnamon mixture and allow to cool
on a wire rack.
They won’t last long, so chow down.
