Old Fashioned Buttermilk Donut Recipe

I just bought the best little (and I mean litle) donut pan to use to bake donuts. Not only do the sell the little pan but there is also a slighgtly larger one that is also available. This recipe produces the tastiest, most moist donuts I have had in a while.

Donuts

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup white sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1cup buttermilk, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup butter, melted.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degree. Lightly grease the donut baking pan. Mix all dry ingredients flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. Mix buttermilk, eggs and melted butter in a separate medium bowl, and stir into the dry ingredients. Fill each donut cup approximately 3/4 full. Bake 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, until donuts spring back when touched.Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.

The following glaze is very simple and really tasty. Just make sure that it is thick enough to coat the top of the donut and not so runny that it will slide off of it.

Glaze Recipe

1 cup confectioner's sugar, 2 tablespoons HOT water, 1/2 teaspoon orange (or any flavor you like) extract.

Directions:
