Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar ((packed))
  • ¼ cup butter ((salted, at room temperature))
  • ¼ cup cooking oil
  • 2 large eggs ((beaten, at room temperature))
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk ((or buttermilk, at room temperature))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and lightly grease your donut pans or mini-donut pans.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the room temperature softened butter, cooking oil, sugar, and light brown sugar. Cream together the wet ingredients, then add the beaten eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Add the all-purpose flour and milk into the wet ingredients, alternating and adding each in gradual amounts. You want the batter thoroughly combined, but do not over-mix once it comes together.
  • Transfer the batter into your prepared donut pans, filling each donut cavity approximately ⅔ full.
  • Place the donut pans onto the center rack in your preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until they have risen, and are golden on the bottom (you can see the lightly browned edges).
  • Remove the baked donuts from your oven and leave them in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping them out onto a wire cooling rack.
  • Add your desired sugar, cinnamon sugar, icing, and any other toppings once cooled.
