Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease doughnut pan(s).

3. Add remaining dry mix alternately with milk, blending after each addition.
4. Fill wells of pan(s) two-thirds full. A large pastry bag works well here.
5. Bake doughnuts until set and browned, 12-15 minutes.
6. Cool in pan(s) for 5 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely. Top as desired, with glaze or shake in a bag with cinnamon-sugar or confectioners' sugar.

Tips from our Bakers
For an easy glaze, mix:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar.
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cream.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Stir together; dip or drizzle over doughnuts.
- For gluten-free pumpkin doughnuts: add 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoon of your favorite pumpkin spice blend to the bag of dry ingredients. Replace the milk with 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of milk and 1/2 can (7 1/2 oz) of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling).
- For a dairy free version, replace the butter and milk with vegan buttery sticks and rice milk.
- King Arthur Flour recommends the GFCO's Certified Gluten-Free Food Service Training and Management program for professional gluten-free baking instruction. For more information, please visit gffs.org.
