1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
06 -
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 -
1 large egg
09 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely blended.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it should be slightly lumpy.
05 -
Using a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner snipped off, fill each donut mold about two-thirds full with batter.
06 -
Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
08 -
If desired, prepare a glaze by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze and allow excess to drip off, or dust with powdered sugar or add your preferred toppings.
09 -
Enjoy the baked donuts warm or at room temperature. They are perfect as a treat for breakfast or any time of the day!
