Baked Lemon Poppy Donuts

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon reduced fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 ½ cup Gold Medal® all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon poppy
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream. Set aside. In another small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, lemon zest, and poppy seeds. Beat for 30 seconds, or until combined.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine. Add the remaining flour and milk; stir until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip (I used a batter dispenser, which was perfect!). Fill each indention in the donut pan about 1/2 full. Bake until the donuts are slightly browned and spring back when touched, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a rack. Gently remove from the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and dry on a baking rack.
