Ingredients

Donuts
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour see note
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 drops yellow food coloring optional
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Lemon Paste
  • non-stick spray even if you are using a non-stick pan
Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Lemon Paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, then set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, milk and lemon paste.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
  4. Spoon or pipe (see note) into each donut mold until no more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill--this rises a lot!
  5. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through.
  6. Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Allow donuts to cool, then drizzle with glaze.

Notes

  • The size of donut pan will make a different in the number of donuts made.I spoon out and level flour. If you are a "scooper" a single cup will probably be about right. In a second batch I used white whole wheat flour and went with 1 cup plus 1 Tablespoon due to the heavier flour.You can spoon the batter into the pan, but piping (without a tip) was much easier. Since the batter isn't super thick you will need to pinch/fold shut the piping bag before filling. If you don't have a piping bag, you can fill a zip loc bag then cut off a corner.
