Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 2 standard sized donut pans (12 donuts total); set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined. Batter will be on the thinner side.
  • Spoon batter into a donut pan, filling about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Donuts should spring back when lightly touched.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from pan, and set on wire cooling rack.
  • Once donuts are cool, prepare glaze.
  • In a heavy saucepan over lowest heat, melt butter half-way.
  • Add chocolate chips and corn syrup. Stir regularly until completely melted and well-incorporated.
  • Once glaze is ready, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze.
  • Set on a wire cooling rack, and let glaze set up, if desired.
