Delicious Baked Sour Cream Glazed Donuts Recipe

Indulge in the sweet and tangy taste of sour cream donuts with this simple recipe. These baked treats are a game-changer, offering a unique flavor profile that will leave you craving for more.

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add in 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, a pinch that adds depth to the donuts.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into as many donuts and holes as possible using a doughnut cutter or a glass. Place the cut-out doughnuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each donut.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before glazing.

For the glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of hot water in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and adjust the consistency as needed by adding more hot water or powdered sugar.

Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let any excess drizzle off. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

* To thin out the glaze, use hot water.

* Use unsalted butter to prevent the mixture from becoming too salty.

* For an even richer flavor, substitute milk for some of the sour cream.

* If you don't have nutmeg, omit it or substitute with a pinch of cinnamon.

* Experiment with different flavors like lemon or orange zest to give your donuts a unique twist.
