Ingredients
For Donuts:
- 2 ½ teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (107 grams) light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup (114 grams) full-fat sour cream
- 1 large egg
For glaze:
- ½ cup (57 grams) powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
For Donuts:
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan. The butter will start to foam and you will see orangey-brown bits form at the bottom of the pan. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray your donut mold with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients together. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan. Bake the donuts into the pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove from pan and allow to cool completely before glazing.
For Glaze:
- In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients and whisk until free of lumps.
- Add more milk if the glaze is too thick.
- Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze.
