Vanilla Raspberry Doughnuts

This past summer I used some doughnut pans and mixes that my mom got as presents. My youngest daughter then wanted me to make "real" doughnuts at home, not the doughnut muffins that I have made. I told her I did not have any doughnut pans and would need some to be able to make "real doughnuts. So for her birthday she asked for doughnut pans.

Now that she has the doughnut pans she helps me make  the doughnuts. This recipe was our first attempt at "real" doughnuts. My daughter did most of the work and I just helped out when she needed it. I have to say these doughnuts were a big hit and she can not wait to make some more.

Vanilla Raspberry Doughnuts

Ingredients:

Doughnuts

• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped frozen raspberries

White Chocolate Glaze

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425º F. Lightly spray a 6 cavity doughnut pan with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes and allow the mixture to curdle.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
4. Add in the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined.
5. Add in the raspberries and gently fold just until combined.
6. Place small scoops of batter around in the cavities of the doughnut pans and gently spread the batter into an even layer, filling the cavities about 3/4 full.
7. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Remove the doughnut pan from the oven and allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
9. Remove the doughnuts and transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before glazing.
10. In a medium bowl add the white chocolate, milk and vanilla extract.
11. Place the bowl over a saucepan with a few inches of simmering water, over medium-low heat. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl and the bowl fits snuggly over the saucepan.
12. Stir the chocolate often until completely melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and then whisk in the powdered sugar. If the glaze is too thick whisk in a little bit more milk. If the glaze is too thin, whisk in a little bit more powdered sugar.
13. Dip the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off before placing the doughnuts back on the cooling rack.

Enjoy!!!
