Ingredients
For the donuts:
  • ¾ cup (110g) plain flour
  • ¼ cup (30g) cocoa
  • ½ cup (110g) caster sugar
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 +1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup (125ml)sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup (125g) confectioner's sugar
  • ½ vanilla bean
  • 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/170C and lightly grease either a 12-hole mini donut pan, or a 6-hole large donut pan.
  2. Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, and whisk them to combine.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together until everything is well combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pipe or spoon the batter into the donut pans, filling them no more than half-way up.
  5. Bake for 5-8 minutes (for mini donuts) or 8-12 minutes (for large donuts). The donuts are done when they are risen and spring back when pressed lightly.
  6. Remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a rack to cool.
  7. Once the donuts are cool, stir together the ingredients for the glaze, adding enough water to make a thick-ish coating on each donut.
  8. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, and set aside to dry and set for at least 10 minutes. Then YA EAT EM!
