Oh my gosh - powdered donuts - a CLASSIC. I do not know why it has taken me so long to put these classic baked powdered donuts on Sturbridge Bakery. They are so easy to make and only have a few simple ingredients. I PROMISE you will love them.
Key Ingredients for powdered donuts
For the batter, you will need:
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Egg
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Whole milk
- Yogurt
- Vanilla extract
For the coating, you will need:
- Powered sugar
Method
Making the powdered donuts batter
Start off by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set this aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, whole milk, yogurt and vanilla extract until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a batter forms. The batter will be thick, so do not worry!
Preparing the donut cavities
The easiest way to fill the donut cavities, in my opinion, is to put the batter into a piping bag/ziplock bag with the tip cut off, and pipe the batter into the donut cavities. If you cannot do this, carefully spoon the batter into the cavities. Bake the donuts for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown. If you press your finger into the donuts, they should bounce back.
Coating the donuts
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, prepare your coating! Place the powdered sugar in a large ziplock/brown paper bag. Take 2-3 donuts at a time and shake them around in the powdered sugar-filled paper bag until they are completely covered in sugary goodness. Then, enjoy!
