Ingredients
Donut Batter
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Topping
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just mixed----do not over-mix the batter.
- Lightly spray donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill a gallon-sized plastic bag with donut batter. Cut a hole in one corner and gently squeeze the batter into each donut cavity.
- Bake donuts for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let donuts cool in the pan for 5-7 minutes then transfer the donuts to a cooling rack.
- Pour powdered sugar into another gallon-sized plastic bag. Add a warm donut then shake to cover the donut completely with powdered sugar. Place the sugar-covered donut back onto the cooling rack. Repeat with remaining donuts.Allow donuts to cool completely.Note: If there are any areas that look bare (the powdered sugar may soak into the donuts due to moisture) you can sprinkle them with a little more powdered sugar.

Notes
Because of the moisture in the donuts, the powdered sugar will eventually soak into the donuts. You can toss them again in powdered sugar on day 2 or sprinkle with more powdered sugar.
These are best eaten the day they are made. Store donuts in an airtight container with paper towels between each layer to keep them fresh.
