Ingredients
  • 1 cup bread flour or all-purpose white flour
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
Donut Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk, add enough milk to make it thin enough to "twirl" the donuts in the glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Sprinkles, Chopped Nuts, or Shredded Coconut (optional toppings). Sprinkle on the donuts while the glaze is still wet.
Instructions
Baked Donuts

  1. Preheat your oven to (350°F) = (176°C). Lightly brush the donut pans with canola oil.

  2. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

  3. Add the sour cream, oil, and eggs, and mix thoroughly.

  4. Filling the donut cups with the donut batter using a pastry bag is a snap; no tip is needed. These are so fun, my friends, you need to make them!

  5. Use a pastry bag to "spread" the donut batter around each well in your donut pan. Fill them about 3/4 full.

  6. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the donut springs back when lightly touched.

  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Place the cooked donuts on a cooling rack.

Donut Glaze

  1. Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until smooth.

  2. Place the donuts on the cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet to spread the glaze on the donuts. Use a small spreader to spread the glaze on the donuts. You can also dip the donuts on the round side down and "twirl" the donuts until covered.

  3. Sprinkle with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut on the donuts while the glaze is wet.
