Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and let excess drip off.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
- Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- These donuts pair well with coffee or tea.
