Ingredients
  • For the donuts:
  • 75g butter, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered glucose (we use/recommend dextrose)
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup whole milk,warmed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ rounded teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • For the coating:
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ -1 cup dextrose
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160C (350F). Lightly grease two donut pans.
  2. combine butter and softened butter in a bowl,
  3. using a hand mixer or stand mixer beat butter and dextrose until pale and creamy
  4. Add egg, milk and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, sift together baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour.
  6. sift dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. The mixture will be pretty thick at this stage and this is how it is supposed to be so don't worry
  8. Spoon mixture in donut pans filling each cavity about half full.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly touched. Tip the donuts out onto a wire rack.
  10. While the donuts are baking, melt the butter for the coating.
  11. In a bag or container with a secure lid, combine cinnamon and dextrose together until completely combined.
  12. when the donuts have cooled enough to handle, dip each donut in the melted butter, shake off excess butter, then put the donut in the cinnamon-sugar mix and shake to completely coat the donut. shake off excess cinnamon mix
  13. Store in an airtight container for a day or two, but best eaten within 24 hours. Can be slightly warmed in microwave for a few second to make them feel "fresh" again if older than 2 days old
