Baked Donuts with Maple Frosting

 
Donut or doughnut?  What’s the difference?  Anyone?  I’ve always spelled it donut because, well, I have no idea.  Probably because that’s how Dunkin’ Donuts spells it so that’s donut law to me.   Either way, they rock!  I love them!
 
And what do you do when your kids both have a sleepover?  Well, you do facials and make donuts, of course.
 
Here they are with their face peels on.  Funny, right?  They loved it!
 
 
And eating donuts too?  Now, that’s a sleepover!
 
 
Baked Donuts with Maple Frosting
 
* 1 cup flour
* 6 Tbsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 6 Tbsp. buttermilk
* 1 egg
* 1/2 tsp. vanilla
* 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
 
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.  Add buttermilk, vanilla egg and melted butter and mix well.
 
I put the batter into a zip lock bag so I could pipe it into the donut maker.  You can also bake these in the oven at 325 for 9 – 10 minutes.
 
 
I love my little donut maker, tho.  I forgot I had one until I saw Sue’s (from Cakeballs, Cookies and More) post on Nutella Donuts.  Yum!
 
We put maple frosting on our donuts because we are huge maple frosting nuts!
 
Maple Frosting
* 4 cups powdered sugar
* 3 Tbsp. butter, softened
* 1 1/2 Tbsp. maple flavoring
* milk
Mix the first 3 ingredients.  Slowly add milk until your frosting is the right consistency.  We like ours thick and delicious!
 
 
Yum, right? 
 
I asked my daughter to smile.  Her response was “I can’t stop eating them!”  I think she liked them =o)
