These are a gentler form of donut than my standard fare. They are quite good on their own or with a dusting of powdered sugar (then again, what treat isn’t?), but I love them with a sweet orange marmalade topping.
Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1⁄2 cup sugar, white granulated
1⁄2 cup buttermilk
1⁄8 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour, unbleached all-purpose
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
Sweet orange marmalade as a topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 365°F.
Beat egg thoroughly, then add sugar, buttermilk, canola oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing well until you have a smooth consistency.
Using a cookie scoop, drop walnut-sized portions of batter into small muffin tins or your donut maker, and bake for 6–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Top with marmalade while the donuts are hot.
Yields 6–10 small donuts
