Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dipping
  • cooking spray to grease the donut pan

Equipment

  • 12-donut donut pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a medium 12-donut donut pan with vegetable oil cooking spray or butter and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, measure the buttermilk.
  4. Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the buttermilk and whisk with a fork to combine and break up the eggs.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together gently with a rubber spatula just until any streaks of flour disappear.
  6. Add the batter to a large piping bag and pipe the donuts into the donut pan cavities only about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7-9 minutes, or until the donuts are just golden brown on top and lose their shine.
  8. Cool in the donut pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Repeat the steps for the next 12 donuts.
  10. Once cooled, dip the donuts in powdered sugar.
