Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring every cavity is well-coated.
- Combine 2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter just comes together without overmixing.
- Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ⅔ full to allow room for rising.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for a light golden color around the edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let donuts rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk to create a smooth, drizzling icing consistency.
- Dunk each cooled donut into the white icing, allowing excess to drip off, then immediately place two chocolate chips as spooky ghost eyes.
Notes
- Grease the donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the donuts.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and more consistent texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Create fun ghost faces by using different sized chocolate chips or candy eyes for more expressive spooky characters.
