Ingredients
  

Doughnut Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoon butter softened
Vanilla Glaze
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Doughnut Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, white vinegar, vanilla extract, egg, and softened butter.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the butter melts, about one minute. Remove from heat.
  5. Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture; mix until combined.
  6. Using a large tablespoon, spoon the doughnut mixture into an ungreased doughnut pan.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
  9. While the doughnuts are cooling, begin to prepare the glaze.
Vanilla Glaze
  1. Place all the glaze ingredients (milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar) in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly just until combined and no lumps appear.
  2. Set the saucepan over a bowl filled with hot water to keep the glaze warm and pourable.
  3. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, one at a time, and set on a rack, glaze side up. Place parchment paper or a tray underneath the rack to catch any drips.
  4. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
