Baked Sour Cream Donuts
Skip the donut shop the next time you are craving a treat and make a batch of these baked sour cream donuts.
Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup grapeseed oil (or your favorite vegetable oil)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Glaze
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 5 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini donut pan with baker's spray (or your donuts will stick).
- Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, blend sour cream, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until well blended.
- Use a ladle or large spoon to fill a ziplock (or pastry bag) with the mixture. Snip a small opening in the corner of the bag.
- Twist the top of the bag so nothing comes out and pipe the mixture into the greased mini donut pan. Fill only ½ to ⅔ full.
- Bake the donuts for 8 minutes or until cooked through.
- Let donuts sit in the pan for about 5 minutes then remove donuts and put them on a cooling rack.
- While the donuts are cooling, you can make the glaze. Combine the powdered sugar and milk. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add the 1 extra tablespoon at a time if the glaze is not yet at a pourable consistency.
- Leave the donuts on the wire rack and put a tray underneath to catch the glaze drips. Spoon the glaze over the donuts.
Notes
- If the sour cream mixture becomes too thick to whisk, use a spoon or plastic spatula to finish mixing.
- You will need to increase your baking time to 10 to 12 minutes only if you are using a regular-size donut pan.
