Baked Donuts with Maple Frosting

Donut or doughnut?  What's the difference?  Anyone?  I've always spelled it donut because, well, I have no idea.  Probably because that's how Dunkin' Donuts spells it so that's donut law to me.   Either way, they rock!  I love them!

And what do you do when your kids both have a sleepover?  Well, you do facials and make donuts, of course.

Here they are with their face peels on.  Funny, right?  They loved it!

And eating donuts too?  Now, that's a sleepover!

Baked Donuts with Maple Frosting

Source: Iowa Girl Eats

* 1 cup flour

* 6 Tbsp. sugar

* 1 tsp. baking powder

* 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

* 1/4 tsp. salt

* 6 Tbsp. buttermilk

* 1 egg

* 1/2 tsp. vanilla

* 1 Tbsp. butter, melted

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.  Add buttermilk, vanilla egg and melted butter and mix well.

I put the batter into a zip lock bag so I could pipe it into the donut maker.  You can also bake these in the oven at 325 for 9 - 10 minutes.

I love my little donut maker, tho.  I forgot I had one until I saw Sue's (from Cakeballs, Cookies and More) post on Nutella Donuts.  Yum!

We put maple frosting on our donuts because we are huge maple frosting nuts!

Maple Frosting

* 4 cups powdered sugar

* 3 Tbsp. butter, softened

* 1 1/2 Tbsp. maple flavoring

* milk

Mix the first 3 ingredients.  Slowly add milk until your frosting is the right consistency.  We like ours thick and delicious!

Yum, right? 

I asked my daughter to smile.  Her response was "I can't stop eating them!"  I think she liked them =o)
