Doughnuts are the timeless treat that many of us love, because, whether they’re covered in chocolate, come with a berry or lemon filling, are dipped in glazed, or decked out in sprinkles, they’re always delicious. But what if the doughnut shop ran out of your favorite doughnut? Or what if you’re just curious and want to make your own batch?

Odette shares a recipe with us for Baking Powder Doughnuts that’s perfect for those times. In her blog, Odette’s Recipes from Zimbabwe, she talks about finding comfort in this classic treat. Her recipe for Baking Powder Doughnuts will yield 12 donuts that you can sprinkle with powdered sugar… or top with your own unique glaze or candy.

You’ll like that the recipe only calls for a few tablespoons of butter. The butter won’t mask the flavor of the other delicious ingredients, like nutmeg and cinnamon. With Odette’s easy-to-follow instructions, I’m sure many of us will bake doughnuts from scratch more often! I bet it’s safe to say that frying these up is faster (and cheaper) than going out and buying them!
