Ingredients
- 1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c whole wheat flour
- ¼ c sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp mace
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1 Tbsp salted butter, softened
- 1 ½ tsp molasses
- ¼ c milk
- ¼ c brandy
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp orange zest
- 1 egg
- ½ c mixed dried fruits (chopped apricots, raisins, currants, golden raisins, etc)
- 2 Tbsp walnuts, chopped
For the Glaze
- ¾ c sugar
- ½ c brandy
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- Melt butter and molasses together in a small bowl in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, add milk, brandy, vanilla, and orange zest. Add egg, and beat until incorporated. Stir in flour mixture until moistened.
- Add fruit and nuts and mix until just combined.
- Spoon batter into greased baked donut pans*, filling ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until firm.
- Remove from pan to a wire rack and cool completely before making glaze.
For the Glaze
- Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Increase heat to high. Simmer, stirring, for 3 minutes. (Glaze should be just starting to turn from clear to opaque when it is done.)
- Let the glaze cool slightly.
- Dip the slightly cooled donuts into the still runny glaze, and place on a wire rack to let the glaze set up. (It cools fast!)
Notes
- *Alternately, this batter can be used to make 6 muffins. Bake 20-22 min, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
