Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk at room temperature
- ½ tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon butter melted (for greasing)
- Extra sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Combine 1/2 tablespoon vinegar with 1/2 cup milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it curdles, forming buttermilk.
- Brush a donut pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the prepared buttermilk. Mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each mold up to 3/4 full.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are light golden brown.
- Allow the donuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of each donut to gently unmold them.
- Press each warm donut into a plate of sugar to coat the surface.
- Enjoy these delicious donuts with a freshly brewed cup of coffee!
Notes
- 🌟 To add a bit more flavor, try mixing a little cinnamon or nutmeg with the sugar used for dusting.
- 🍫 For a fun twist, drizzle some melted chocolate over the donuts after baking.
