Nick’s Picks: Homemade Donuts
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon for glaze
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
Method-
- Set a rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Grease a mini or a regular doughnut baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together.
- In another bowl, mix the cream, eggs, honey, and melted butter together. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the pan, filling just a little below the rim of the molds. Do not overfill.
- Bake until golden around the edges, 5 to 6 minutes for minis, 10 to 11 minutes for regular doughnuts. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer the doughnuts to the rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Dip the doughnuts in the hot chocolate and serve.
