Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a medium 12-donut donut pan (or two if you have) with vegetable oil cooking spray or butter and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

  3. In a glass measuring cup, measure the buttermilk.

  4. Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the buttermilk and whisk with a fork to combine and break up the eggs.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together gently with a rubber spatula just until any streaks of flour disappear. Over-mixing can make the donuts tough and rubbery, so mix gently and only as much as you need to.

  6. Add the batter to a large piping bag and pipe the donuts into the donut pan cavities only about 1/2 to 2/3 full.

They are so gorgeous! I subbed the buttermilk for lite milk and lemon juice and they still came out great! Basically nowhere in my country sells powdered donuts, I've seen them on TV since I was a kid and always wanted to try one! Thank you!🥰

My three kids love making this with me! I make 1 c of buttermilk by letting milk sit with vinegar for five minutes (1 T vinegar + enough milk to make 1 c). For now, I dump the extra down the drain until I do math and figure out how to only make 3/4 c. I don’t have a donut pan, and bake these in my mini muffin pan. Makes 32, if I fill too much, as I always seem to do. We coat with powdered sugar by tossing donuts and the sugar in a large saucepan, holding the lid on and going crazy!
