INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional Coating

    • 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with an oven rack in the upper-middle position. Coat a donut pan with cooking spray.

2

Sift flour, white sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl.

3

Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.

4

Pour melted and cooled shortening into the flour mixture; stir until absorbed. Stir in buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let the batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

5

Pour batter by scant 1 tablespoonfuls into wells of each prepared donut cup. Distribute batter evenly across the bottoms of each cup using the back of a spoon. Note: not all batter will fit in this batch.

6

Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring the donuts to a wire rack.

7

Place confectioners' sugar into a small paper bag. Add the donuts and toss to coat.

8

Repeat the process with the remaining batter and confectioners' sugar.
