Flavorful cooked buttermilk donuts drizzled in chocolate frosting and seasoned with nutmeg and vanilla.
What a delightful treat these donuts with chocolate frosting are! A delectable donut glazed with rich chocolate and baked to a beautiful brown.
The authentic bakery flavor of the donuts is brought out with a pinch of nutmeg in the dough.
Oil and butter, when combined, impart a buttery flavor and wetness.
Buttermilk gives it a lovely taste and makes it more moist. The donuts get an additional dimension of flavor from the vanilla.
Just use ordinary flour or all-purpose flour. Feel free to use whichever flour you happen to have on hand; I prefer unbleached.
Granulated sugar or super-fine caster sugar will work.
Make use of giant or jumbo eggs that are left out of the fridge.
For added taste, I usually use salted butter when baking, but feel free to use any kind of butter you choose.
Canola or vegetable oil, or any oil without a strong flavor
Grind or pulse the nutmeg until it is finely ground. You can vary the amount of nutmeg to your liking; I believe that half a teaspoon gives this recipe the perfect amount of bakery flavor.
For this recipe, you can use either full-fat or low-fat buttermilk.
