Ingredients
  

For the donuts
  • 150 g (1 cup) plain / all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
  • 120 ml (½ cup) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 20 g (⅛ cup) butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
For the chocolate glaze
  • 90 g (½ cup) chocolate
  • 1 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 tbsp butter

Equipment

  • Digital scales
  • Freestanding mixer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Donut pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 160C / 140C Fan / 320F and thoroughly grease a donut pan with a little oil or butter.
MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS TOGETHER
  1. Measure the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and add them to a large mixing bowl.
MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS TOGETHER
  1. In a separate bowl or measuring jug, measure the milk.
    Melt the butter in the microwave or small pot and then add that to your milk.
    Crack the eggs in a small bowl before adding them to your milk.
    Finally, add the vanilla and then mix it all in with a fork or small whisk.
ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS TO THE DRY INGREDIENTS
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into your large mixing bowl. Mix it all in with a wooden spoon or spatula until you have a nice smooth batter.
BAKE THE DONUTS
  1. Add the batter to your donut pans until they are about ¾ full. You can either spoon the batter in, or if you use a jug you can get your kids to pour the batter in. We found using a jug much easier and much less messy.
  2. Bake the donuts for 8-10 minutes. They're ready when they have risen and turned a nice golden brown colour.
    Remove them from the oven and leave them in their tins while you make the chocolate glaze.
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
  1. Break up the chocolate and put it in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (a double boiler). Add the golden syrup and butter and mix it all together while the chocolate melts.
GLAZE THE DONUTS
  1. Once the chocolate has melted, remove the chocolate from the heat and take the donuts out of their donut pans.
    Dip each donut in the chocolate then set them down on a wire rack. Add some sprinkles as a finishing touch.
