Homemade Donuts and Glaze



These donuts are more cake-like donuts and I don't have a donut cutter so I just used a cookie cutter and it seemed to work fine. And when I was almost out of dough I just used to remaining dough to make donut holes!


Cakey Donuts:

2 1/4 C. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4-1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 C. sugar
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 C. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Oil for frying

-Mix dry ingredients together
-Beat egg with sugar in separate bowl until well mixed, add butter, milk and vanilla and mix well
-Add dry ingredients and mix well, be careful not to over-mix
-Heat oil in pan while rolling out the dough to about 3/8" thick, cut with cutters and fry until golden on both sides
(if the dough is difficult to work with then refrigerate for about 1 hour and be sure to work with a floured surface)

Donut Glaze:

1/4 C. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. powdered sugar

-Heat milk and vanilla on med-low heat until warm
-Gradually add sugar, whisking slowly
-Remove from heat and drizzle over donuts

(makes 18-24 donuts)
