DIY Lavender Doughnuts
Donuts!!! We are obsessed with donuts, but I had never made them before and felt that it would be a fun, winter, afternoon project. How hard can it be? Yes, and even better, make them lavender frosted!
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease two standard doughnut pans.
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars until smooth.
-
Add the eggs, beating to combine.
-
Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla and lavender extract.
-
Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined. The batter will be fairly thick; when you draw your spatula through the batter, it will leave a furrow.
-
Spoon the batter into the lightly greased doughnut pans, filling the wells to about 1/4” shy of the rim.
-
Bake the doughnuts for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and wait 5 to 7 minutes before turning them out of the pans onto a rack. Recipe makes about a dozen donuts.
Frosting Stir the sugar, corn syrup, butter, Norwood Farm lavender extract and 1 Tbsp of milk together, adding extra reserved milk or confectioners’ sugar to adjust the consistency as needed. Dip each doughnut in glaze until tops are coated.
