Preparation

01Preheat oven to 350 F and prep donut tray with cooking spray or oil.

02Melt the butter for the donut batter and let cool.

03Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.

04In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

05Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined.

06Using a spoon, fill each donut cavity about 3/4 of the way full.

07Cook for 10-12 minutes or when the donuts spring back when you lightly press on them.
