Old Fashioned Powdered Sugar Baked Donuts - Slide Rock Blonde Coffee Stout Beer Pairing

The Old Fashioned Powdered Sugar Donuts are a delicious treat that is easy to make and pairs perfectly with our second collab brew with Arizona State Parks & Trails, Slide Rock Blonde Coffee Stout!

Servings: 24 donuts

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup buttermilk

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• cooking spray

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a medium 12-donut donut pan (or two if you have one) 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 gently with a rubber spatula just until any streaks of flour disappear. Over-mixing can make the donuts tough and rubbery, so mix gently and only as much as you need to.

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. Repeat the steps for the next 12 donuts (this recipe makes 24 mini donuts).

9. Once cooled, dip the donuts in powdered sugar (use a light spritz of vegetable oil spray on the donuts if the powdered sugar needs help sticking!) and enjoy! 

Tips:

• Store these donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh!
