Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch sauce
- 1 tablespoon milk (for frosting consistency)
- Floo powder (edible glitter) for decoration
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; whisk together until blended.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients; stir gently until just combined without overmixing.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan and fill each mold about ¾ full with batter; bake for 10-12 minutes until springy.
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, butterscotch sauce, and milk to create frosting; adjust consistency with more milk if necessary.
- Dip cooled donuts into frosting, let excess drip off, and sprinkle with floo powder for decoration.
Notes
- Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best taste.
- Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
- For buttermilk substitute, mix ½ cup milk and ½ tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Reduce sugar in the batter by ¼ cup for less sweetness.
