Equipment

Ingredients

Donuts:

Glaze:

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the unsalted butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the dry ingredients, including the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Cut the donuts with a donut cutter or cup.
  • Heat 1-2 inches of canola oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat.
  • Fry each donut in the hot canola oil, cooking one side for 2-3 minutes, then turning to cook the other side another 2-3 minutes, or 'til done.
  • Drain the donuts on paper that will absorb the excess grease; brown paper lunch sacks work great!
  • To make the glaze, mix the softened butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, powdered sugar, and milk in a small mixing bowl. The glaze needs to be a thinner consistency, so it may require a bit more milk.
  • While still warm but cool enough to handle, dip the donuts in the glaze, and allow them to drip dry on a wire rack.
  • Serve with a mug of cold milk or a nice cup of hot coffee.
