Krispy Kreme Inspired Baked Doughnuts
by Kori Puckett
A few weeks ago I went crazy with Krispy Kreme. At the time I
was also being plagued by mosquitos, so in an attempt to take my mind off the
little bloodsuckers, I decided to make my own doughnuts. And I came across a
recipe for Baked Doughnuts.
Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Doughnuts are still King and Queen of
the doughnut world as far as I'm concerned (and they're
professionals, so why wouldn't they be?), but these doughnuts
didn't turn out too bad...
You'll need:
1 cup
white sugar
2
teaspoons baking powder
1
teaspoon baking soda
1
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2
teaspoon ground cloves
2
teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
buttermilk
3 eggs
1
tablespoon honey
1/2 cup
butter, melted
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly
grease a baking sheet, or doughnut baking pan.
In a medium bowl, mix sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg,
cloves, cinnamon and flour. Mix buttermilk, eggs, honey and butter in a separate
medium bowl, and stir into the dry ingredients. Then spoon the mixture onto the
prepared pan in
doughnut shapes.
Bake the doughnuts for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until
golden brown.
You can sprinkle confectioners sugar on top of the doughnuts
while they're warm or you can make your own glaze to dip them in. I had to have
glazed doughnuts, so I boiled 1 cup of water and mixed in three cups of powdered
sugar to make sure I'd have enough.
I hope you enjoy the recipe!
