Ingredients
  

Donuts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil (or your favorite vegetable oil)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 egg
Glaze
  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 5 tablespoons whole milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a mini donut pan with baker's spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. Whisk the sour cream, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg in a separate bowl until well blended.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients using a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Transfer the batter into a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and snip a small opening in one corner.
  6. Pipe the mixture into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity one-half to two-thirds full.
  7. Bake the donuts for 8 minutes or until they are cooked through.
  8. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk, adding one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  10. Place a tray under the cooling rack to catch drips and spoon the glaze over the donuts.

Notes

  • If the sour cream mixture becomes too thick to whisk, use a spoon or plastic spatula to finish mixing.
  • You will need to increase your baking time to 10 to 12 minutes only if you are using a regular-size donut pan.
