Funfetti Doughnuts

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Once a month or so, on a Saturday morning, my husband picks up doughnuts for the family to enjoy, and we do very much!  My kids like the glazed, my hubby likes the jelly filled, and I prefer the creme sticks.  Since we enjoy them so much, when I found a doughnut pan for 40% off, I decided to try my hand at making some.  They turned out light, sweet and yummy. My seven year old said they were the best ever!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 3/4 cups funfetti cake mix
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (for a buttermilk substitute, put 2 teaspoons of white vinegar or lemon juice in the measuring cup, and then add enough milk to make 3/4 cup, let set for 5 minutes, and voila buttermilk)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • sprinkles (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

  • Mix everything in your mixing bowl on low to medium speed for 30 seconds.

  • Spray doughnut pans with cooking oil, and transfer batter to a gallon size ziploc bag for smooth pouring.
  • Cut the corner off the bag, and squeeze the batter into the doughnut rounds (kind of like squeezing frosting out of a frosting bag).
  • Fill the rounds about 2/3 of the way full. This is enough to make 12 doughnuts.

  • Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 8 minutes. They get brown more quickly on the bottom, so keep an eye on them.

  • Let cool for a couple of minutes in the pan, and then transfer to cooling racks.

For the glaze:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • scant pinch of salt (I think this helps with the chalky taste you get sometimes with powdered sugar, but you can leave it out if you prefer)

DIRECTIONS: 

  • Mix these ingredients in a saucepan on low to medium heat for just a couple of minutes until the sugar is dissolved.

  • Then dip the doughnuts in the glaze on both sides (dip the bottom in first, then the top), and then let them rest on the cooling rack till the frosting firms up.

These are my favorite sprinkles, or the round ones that come on the frosting containers!

    This look fun! Is 2 1/2 cups of cake mix equal to the whole box? If not, what do you do with the rest?
