Equipment

  • Donut pan

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Oil (plain flavourless)
  • 1 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 cup Plain flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarb soda
  • pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Cardamom powder

Cardamom Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cup Confectioners/Icing sugar (sift if needed)
  • 1-3 tbsp Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 180c/350F. Spray the donut pans on all sides to ensure easy removal.
  • Place the egg and sugar in a bowl. Mix well using a whisk.
  • Add the vanilla, oil and milk and mix until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder, bicarb soda, salt and cardamom powder.
  • Mix gently until all the ingredients just come together. Don't over mix the batter.
  • The batter will be runny, use a cup or jug to pour the batter into each donut hole. Fill till the top.
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick removed comes out clean. Test this at the thickest part to ensure it's cooked all the way through.
  • Set aside to cool completely.

Cardamom Glaze

  • In a bowl combine the icing mixture and cardamom powder.
  • Add in the milk a little at a time until the glaze is thick like a thick pancake batter.
  • Gently remove the donuts from the pan and place them onto baking paper or a cooling rack.
  • Using a spoon, drizzle the donuts with the glaze making sure the top of each donut is covered.

Notes

Store in an airtight contain at room temp for 3-5 days. Do not store in the fridge as this will dry them out. Store in the freezer for 1-3 months without the glaze, thaw at room temperature. Make the glaze fresh before serving.
Careful not to over mix the batter or it will cause dry donuts.
Remove the donuts by gently twisting them around and up the pan.
