Baked Dunkin' Old Fashioned Donuts (Copycat)
Description
A Dunkin'-style old fashioned cake donut baked in a donut pan. Eat it plain or dip it in a simple vanilla glaze.
Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the cavities of your donut pan(s) with nonstick baking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla bean paste. Stir just until no large lumps of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe about ¼ cup of batter into each cavity.
- Bake on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Work in batches if needed.
- Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk, adding more as needed for the consistency you want.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts in the glaze and let set. Serve.
Equipment
- 2 six-cavity donut pans (or 1 pan, baked in 2 batches)
- Nonstick baking spray
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Piping bag (or zip-top bag)
- Toothpick
- Wire cooling rack
- Small bowl (for the glaze)
Notes
This is a copycat-style recipe, not Dunkin's official recipe. For a thin Dunkin'-style glaze, use closer to 2 tablespoons of milk. For a plain old fashioned, skip the glaze. Best eaten the same day; freeze unglazed for up to 3 months.
