Funfetti Doughnuts

Funfetti Doughnuts Recipe
(Makes 8 doughnuts)

Ingredients for Doughnuts:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (equivalent to 4.4 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup milk (I used skim milk.)
• 1/4 cup Greek plain yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Ingredients for Glaze:

• 1/4 cup milk (I used skim milk.)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• sprinkling of rainbow sprinkles on top

Directions for Doughnuts:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a doughnut pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and sugar.  Set it aside the dry ingredients.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together the milk, yogurt, and egg.
5. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract. This is the bowl of wet ingredients.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined.  The batter will be very thick.
7. Gently mix in the sprinkles.
8. Divide the batter equally into the 8 doughnut cups. (See note below.)
9. Bake them in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
10. Allow the doughnuts to cool completely before glazing.

Directions for Glaze and Glazing the Doughnuts:

1. In a small saucepan, over Low heat, whisk together the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.  Keep on the heat until the glaze is smooth.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
3. Dunk each doughnut in the warm glaze then transfer it to a wire rack.  Make sure you have something underneath the wire rack to catch the glaze drippings.
4. After you’ve dunk every doughnut, do it again.
5. Immediately sprinkle some sprinkles on top of each doughnut.

Note:  The original recipe calls for 8 doughnuts.  My doughnut pan must be smaller than Sally’s because I had extra batter left over.  I used the leftover batter to make miniature doughnuts because i happen to have a pan that makes those.  I baked them for 6 minutes.
