Ingredients
Donut Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a donut pan thoroughly to ensure the donuts don’t stick while baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Fill Donut Pan: Evenly spoon or pour the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the donuts are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Melt Chocolate Glaze: While the donuts bake, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and milk together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Coat: Allow the donuts to cool completely. Then dip the tops of each donut into the warm chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off for a neat coating.
- Set the Glaze: Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack or parchment paper and let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Add sprinkles on top of the chocolate glaze for festive decoration.
- You can use dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips according to your preference.
- These donuts are best eaten fresh to enjoy their soft texture and glossy glaze.
