Ho ho ho! Greetings, dear bakers!
Santa's Glazed Holiday Donuts Recipe
Ingredients:
For the donuts:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk (fresh from the North Pole)
2 large eggs (from the happiest hens in the reindeer stables)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (sourced from the finest vanilla pods)
For the glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar (snow-like sweetness)
4 tablespoons milk (from magical cows)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (extracted by the elves themselves)
Food coloring (red and green for that festive cheer)
Festive sprinkles or edible glitter (for an extra touch of magic)
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, mixing with a sprinkle of magic dust for good luck.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract with a touch of Christmas joy until it's as smooth as Santa's sleigh ride.
Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones until it's just as mixed as the reindeer pulling my sleigh.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out your donut shapes. Each one should be as round as Rudolph's nose!
Heat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C), just as toasty as Mrs. Claus's cookies. Fry the donuts until they're as golden as the star on top of the Christmas tree.
For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until it's as smooth as freshly fallen snow. Add colors fit for the merriest of celebrations!
Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, letting the extra drip off like snowflakes falling from the sky. Decorate them with sprinkles as colorful as the lights on our tree.
Let the glaze set for about 10-15 minutes, just enough time for Santa to check his list twice.
Enjoy these magical glazed donuts as you celebrate this festive season! Remember, spreading joy and sweetness is the true spirit of Christmas!
Merry baking,
Donut
