• Yield: 12 mini donuts

Ingredients

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 TB poppy seeds
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 TB (28g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cool
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (any works)
• 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 TB (15ml) lemon juice
• 1 TB lemon zest

Lemon Glaze

• 2 TB (28g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
• 1-2 TB (15-30ml) milk
• 1 TB (15ml) lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Make the donuts: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Whisk the melted butter, egg, sugar, milk, sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and zest until completely combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
3. Spoon the batter into the donut cavities—I highly recommend using a large zipped-top bag for ease. Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup
