Old Fashioned Donut Muffins
I'm happy to
make old-fashioned donut muffins with kids during the summer. If you're looking
for recipe ideas for breakfast, try them! They would be so fun for a brunch
with your girlfriends or a bridal breakfast or a baby shower.
Ingredients
For the
Muffins:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the
Glaze:
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 3 tablespoons butter; melted
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar; sifted
Instructions:
First, Preheat
oven to 425 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners or spray with nonstick
cooking spray.
Then, In the
bowl of a stand mixer with the palette attachment, beat butter, vegetable oil
and sugars together until smooth. Beat the eggs, one at a time. With the low
speed mixer, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla
until everything is well mixed. Stir the flour into the butter mixture
alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour and making sure
everything is well mixed.
Pour the
batter into the cups, filling the cups and smooth tops. Divide the dough evenly
into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until muffin top is pale and golden to
taste, 15 to 17 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. Let the muffins cool
in a muffin pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and allow to cool for 10
minutes before icing.
To make the
icing, mix the melted butter, icing sugar, vanilla and water in a medium bowl.
Whisk until smooth.
When the
muffins have cooled slightly, immerse the crown in the frosting and let it
harden. Once hardened, soak a second time and allow to harden and serve. Happy
Cooking Time.
