Ingredients
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp
- ¼ tsp ground ginger + ¼ tsp
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar + ⅓ cup
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup apple juice
Cooking Steps
Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a donut pan.
Start Batter
In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground ginger, and ¼ tsp salt.
Cream Butter & Sugar
Cream 5 Tbsp. butter with ½ cup granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 min. Add 1 egg and ½ tsp vanilla extract, mix to combine.
Finish Batter
Add flour mixture and ¼ cup apple juice to the butter-egg mixture. Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix. The batter may look lumpy but that is ok.
Bake
Divide the batter evenly among the 6-donut pan. Bake for 15-18 min., or until browned around the edges, and a tester comes out clean.
Coat the Donuts
While the donuts bake, in a medium bowl, stir to combine ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground ginger, and ⅓ cup sugar. Once the donuts are baked, immediately transfer them to the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Enjoy!
