What do we do?

• Turn the oven onto 175C/ 350F

• Spray the doughnut or cupcake pan with oil and set to one side. If you don’t have oil spray put a little oil on a piece of kitchen roll and rub round the cake/ doughnut pan

• Put the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt into one of the mixing bowls

• Measure out the milk into the second mixing bowl add the melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.

• Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until it is all mixed together. Don’t mix it too much.

• Spoon the mixture into the doughnut pan or cupcake tin. Alternatively, you can pop it in a piping bag to help you. You want to fill them up to ¾ full.

• Put the doughnuts in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes

• While the doughnuts are cooking put the icing sugar, pinch of salt and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl whisk in a little of the milk at a time until it is a thick but runny icing.

• At this stage you can separate and colour the icing if you would like. 

• When the doughnuts are still warm, dip them into the icing and add sprinkles if using.

Eat and enjoy!
