Sunday Morning Donuts

Sunday is always a big cooking day in the Perkins' household. It's one of the rare days that I can laze around and have fun with it. We don't need much of a special occasion to make a fancy breakfast or dessert here! I recently got a donut pan for my birthday (thanks sissy!) and the girls have been asking to try it out for weeks so today we gave it a shot.  Now I wouldn't typically blog about a recipe I have never tested- I want to make sure that if you are going to bother  trying some of my suggestions that they be worth it BUT I'm gonna make an exception here..

By the way the donut pan is easily found at AC Moore or Michaels and is pretty inexpensive.

What do I need??? **Food tip- unlike cooking, you can't guestimate for baking or it will come out all wrong so I'm giving correct measurements**

- 2 cups CAKE flour - or else lead donuts you will be making haha

- 3/4 cups sugar

- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (some must still be kicking around, or else use 1/4 tsp each cin and nutmeg)

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- store-bought frosting (it is Sunday morning, im not that crazy)
- assorted sprinkles, decorations etc

Total Prep and Cook Time- 20 min, Yields 12 donuts
Preheat oven to 425 F, spray donut pan with cooking spray

Okay so first things first, measure all dry ingredients in large bowl

 Next stir in the eggs, butter, and milk

Stir until well combined but don't over do it or else you will have dense donuts. . .

Fill each donut mold about 2/3 way full, making sure not to cover the center piece

Pop that bad boy in the oven for 8 minutes,  until lightly golden and "springy"

Let cool in pan for 5 min or so then place on wire rack.  When completely cool just frost the tops and then let your kids go to town with the sprinkles (WARNING- SPRINKLES EVERYWHERE!!!)

And there you have it! Not quite Dunks but still tasty... 

Abigail and Lucia say "Enjoy!"
