Ingredients
Donuts
- 2 cups (250 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
- ½ cup (113.5 g) Unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup (200 g) Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Chocolate glaze
- ½ cup (90 g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Corn syrup (optional for shine)
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp Heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
- Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C/Gas Mark 4 and grease your silicone donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Dry ingredients - Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set this dry mixture aside.2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 ½ tsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Baking soda, ½ tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon , ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- Cream - In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.½ cup Unsalted butter, 1 cup Granulated sugar
- Eggs - Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.2 large Eggs, 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Combine - Gradually add the flour mixture and sour cream to the wet mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can make the donuts tough.1 cup Sour cream
- Pan - Transfer the batter to a piping bag and cut a small opening at the tip or spoon the batter into your prepared greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Smooth the tops with a spatula or tap the pan on the counter a few times to help the batter settle down.
- Bake - Place the donut pan on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Cool - Once the donuts are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze - While the donuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.½ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, 1 tbsp Corn syrup , ½ tsp Vanilla extract, 2-3 tbsp Heavy cream
- Coat - Once the donuts are completely cool, dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. If desired, sprinkle some sprinkles or chopped nuts on top for added decoration.
- Set - Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
