Equipment

1 - 2 6 count donut pan
2 mixing bowls
1 whisk
2 ziplock bags

Ingredients

2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
2 large eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup (79 ml) neutral baking oil (like canola or vegetable)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
⅔ cup (158 ml) milk, room temperature
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 (177 C). Grease 1 - 2 6 ct. donut pans and set aside. To make donut holes, grease a mini muffin pan.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon or nutmeg and salt together until well combined.

In another large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Whisk in the oil, vanilla extract and milk until smooth and fully combine. Mix the dry ingredients to the wet. Whisk well until mostly smooth and just combined.

Carefully transfer the donut batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Pipe the donut batter into each of the prepared donut cavities in the donut pan. This should fill about ¾ of each cavity of the donut pan.
Bake the donuts for about 10 -12 minutes. The donuts are finished baking when the tops bounce back quickly when lightly pressed.
Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes before gently taking them out of the pan and transferring them onto a cooling rack.
Pour the powdered sugar into a clean ziplock bag. While the donuts are still warm, toss one at a time into the powdered sugar until well coated. Transfer the powdered sugar donut back onto the cooling rack. Repeat until all the donuts are coated in the powdered sugar and enjoy!

Notes

Store: These powdered donuts taste the best when enjoyed the same day they are made. To enjoy them beyond the day they are made, store them in an airtight container lined with paper towels on the bottom. Store them at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the powdered sugar will “melt” into the donut after a few hours.
