A new guilty pleasure. ☘️
What Ingredients are Needed?
- Flour + Salt+ Baking powder
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sugar
- Buttermilk
- Eggs
- Butter
- Additional for glaze: Irish creme creamer and chocolate chips
Don’t Like Irish Creme? Simply replace it with regular whipping cream.
Don’t over mix your batter. You want it fully combined, but, don’t beat it to death. Your doughnuts won’t have as soft texture. Also, you don’t have to bring out your big electric mixer for these. A whisk, rubber spatula and a mixing bowl will work just fine.
Don’t overfill your doughnut pan! When filling with batter, you want the wells to be about 2/3 of the way full.
Using a piping bag works best for filling the pan with batter. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a large “ziploc” storage bag. Make a small cut in the bottom corner of the bag and squeeze the batter out carefully. If you aren’t comfortable with piping, I’ve used a small spoon to fill the pan and it’s worked well.
