by

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional, for flavor)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
  • Melted butter for brushing

INSTRUCTION

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. Combine wet ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Make the batter – Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill donut pan – Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the donut molds, filling about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until donuts are lightly golden and spring back when touched.
  7. Cool slightly in the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Add topping (optional) – Brush warm donuts with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

If you want, I can also give you a chocolate glaze version for these baked donuts so they look like bakery-style treats. Would you like me to add that?
