Ingredients

Donuts

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp ground nutmeg

Pinch of ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

¾ cup half-and-half

Canola oil

Donut Glaze and Topping

2 ¼ cups powdered sugar

¼ cup milk or half-and-half

½ tsp maple flavor

¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Cooked bacon, finely chopped

Tools

Williams Sonoma Glass Mixing Bowl 10-Piece Set

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.

In another mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar, and mix with a hand blender. Then, add the melted butter and vanilla and mix again.

Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a dough. Pour a little bit of the dry ingredients into the wet and mix, adding more dry ingredients as you go. Add the half-and-half to the wet and dry mixture, once about halfway through the process and once more again when you’re almost done mixing all the dry ingredients into the wet. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and set aside.

Sprinkle some flour on a surface and knead your dough. Roll it out into a thin layer and create small circles using a cookie cutter. Then, cut out smaller circles inside of your circles to create a donut shape.
