Recipe: Red, White and Blue Baked Donuts
Donut Ingredients
- tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup sugar
- eggs lightly beaten
- teaspoons vanilla, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- cup buttermilk, red and blue paste food coloring
Glaze
- cup powdered sugar
- teaspoon vanilla, 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease a donut pan. In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, vegetable oil and sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, baking soda and flour. Mix the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
- Transfer one-third of the mixture into a pastry bag. Divide the remaining batter into 2 bowls. Tint one bowl with red food coloring and the other with blue. Transfer each colored batter into separate pastry bags. Pipe an equal amount of each colored batter into the donut pan. Drag a toothpick through each of the colors to create a tie-dyed effect if desired.
- Bake until the centers spring back when lightly touched, 8-10 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool completely. To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add in the cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.
