Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a donut pan or use a non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick but pourable.
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze. Let excess glaze drip off.
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
