Crumb Doughnuts Recipe

 #Crumb #Doughnuts #Recipe

(makes 6 doughnuts)

Ingredients 

• Ingredients for the crumb topping:
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (equivalent to 3 ounces)
• Ingredients for the doughnuts:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (equivalent to 4.2 ounces)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/2 cup sour cream (You can use Greek yogurt instead.)
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ingredients for the glaze:
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk (I used 1%.)

Directions 

• Directions for the crumb topping:
• In a saucepan, over Low heat, melt the butter.  (DO NOT try to take a short cut and use the microwave instead.  Since you add the crumb topping AFTER the doughnuts have baked you need to cook the flour taste out of the crumb topping.)
• Add in the light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and stir everything together.
• Add in the flour and stir.  Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat and let it cool.
• Directions for the doughnuts:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.  These are the dry ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract.  These are the wet ingredients.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined.  Don’t over mix the batter.
• Pour the batter evenly into the 6 greased doughnut cavities.
• Bake them for about 14 minutes or until a tester inserted comes out clean.  (Mine took 13 minutes.)
• Let the doughnuts cool and then remove them from the pan.
• Get a wire rack and lay parchment paper or a cookie sheet underneath it.  This is the prepping station for glazing and crumbing steps.
• Make sure they are cooled completely.
• Dunk the doughnuts into the glaze, covering the entire doughnut.
• Place the glazed doughnut onto the wire rack.
• Immediately sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the doughnut and gently press them down to help secure them.
• Let the doughnut stand until the glaze has set.  Repeat steps 10 through 12 for each doughnut.
• Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the doughnuts.  (Optional, but not for me.)
• Try not to eat all 6 in one sitting.
• Directions for the glaze:
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk.  Set it aside to use for when the doughnuts have cooled completely.
