Sugared Buttermilk Donuts

Homemade donuts are a real treat, and these light and fluffy buttermilk donuts will melt in your mouth! And they're baked, which means they're not nearly as indulgent as you think, so you can eat one (or two!) in good conscience. 

These are some of the quickest donuts I've ever whipped up, and they were devoured just as quickly. (That sugary coating is sure helpful in the devouring department.) 

 Liven up your next breakfast or brunch with these delicious beauties!

Sugared Buttermilk Donuts

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar, for topping

Stir together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Add the flour and continue stirring until smooth. 

Fill greased donut wells about 3/4 full; bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. 

Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large zip top plastic bag; add donuts one at a time and shake until each one is coated in sugar.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.  Makes 12 donuts.
