Ingredients

Donut Mixture

  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425-degrees.
  • Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-sized bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, add the sour cream, brown sugar, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.
  • Finally, add the flour mixture and mix well.
  • Scoop the batter into a large bag and cut a small amount off of the tip of the bag.
  • Pipe the batter into the donut pan in a circle.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Make the glaze while the donuts are baking by mixing the two ingredients.
  • Once the donuts finish baking, place them into the glaze mixture one at a time. Set on a cookie rack to cool and harden. Allow the donuts to cool for about 30 minutes.
