- 3tbspunsalted butter,melted and slightly cooled
- 3-4tbspheavy cream
- 1tsppure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1-2dropsred food coloring
- rainbow sprinkles,for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
-
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
-
Whisk the egg, brown sugar, and buttermilk together until smooth. Add the melted butter and vanilla, whisking until fully combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be very thick.
-
Spoon the batter into the donut cavities or zipped-top bag. Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup, filling only ½ to ⅔ full. If baking hearts, do not fill up too much or the donuts won’t have a hole in the center (they’ll puff up too much).
-
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool in the pan for about 2 minutes, then place each on a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet or parchment paper.
-
Bake the remaining donut batter (there is usually enough batter for 2 to 3 more donuts). Once baked, transfer to the wire rack. Allow donuts to cool down to touch.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients together until completely smooth. Add more cream to thin or more confectioners’ sugar to thicken, if desired.
-
Dip each donut into the glaze, then place it back on the rack. Top with sprinkles.
-
Donuts are best served immediately. Leftovers keep well covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If glazed lightly, the glaze will somewhat set after a few hours.
