Baked Buttermilk Donuts

So a few months ago I gave you baked donuts. Here I am trying another recipe, this time the one that came from Wilton, on the back of the pan. These are also delicious, but with the hint of nutmeg, I recommend sticking with a sugar coating or vanilla/maple glaze. My kids insisted on chocolate, so I did it for them, but it clashed with the nutmeg and did neither of them a favor. However, the ones tossed with cinnamon and powdered sugar knocked my socks off.

Baked Buttermilk Donuts
2 cups cake flour, sifted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 T butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 425. Spray donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter. Beat until just combined. Spoon batter into a large plastic bag. Snip off the corner and pipe batter into donut pan cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.

3. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until the top of the donuts springs back when touched. Let cool in pan for 4 to 5 minutes before removing. Finish donuts with glaze, cinnamon sugar or confectioner's sugar. Best served fresh. Makes 12 donuts.

For vanilla or maple glaze, see this post.
