Ingredients
FOR THE DONUTS
- 1 cup flour all purpose or cake/pastry flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter melted let cool
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon milk either 2% or whole milk room temperature
FOR THE GANACHE
- 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate good quality
- ½ cup cream whole/whipping or heavy cream with at least 30% fat content
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius), grease and flour a 6 size donut pan.
- In a small pot melt butter and let cool.
- In a medium/large bowl whisk together flour,baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a medium bowl whisk together until combined, cooled melted butter, egg, vanilla, greek yogurt and milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
- To fill the donut pan you can either pour the donut batter into a piping bag and fill the prepared donut pan until almost full or use a small spoon and spatula.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Let the donuts cool for about 10 minutes in the pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- The donuts should be completely cool before dipping or spreading with the ganache. Top with sprinkles, grated chocolate or even finely chopped nuts if desired before the ganache has set. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
TO MAKE THE GANACHE
- Chop the chocolate and place in a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan heat the cream until very hot but not boiling, pour over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth.
Notes
- For room temperature ingredients remove from the fridge 45-60 minutes before using.
- If you prefer you can use cake flour instead of all purpose, it will make the donuts softer and more tender. For every cup of all purpose flour, remove two tablespoons and replace with two tablespoons of corn starch. Be sure to sift the flour and cornstarch together a couple of times, this way it is sure to be properly combined and lump free.
- Store the baked cooled donuts in an air tight container at room temperature. They will last up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
