Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
|| Donuts || In a standing mixer, combine butter, sugars, and extracts. Add in the egg and mix just until combined. Stop the mixer and add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Turn the mixer on slow and slowly drizzle in the buttermilk. The batter will be thick. Place in a piping bag and cut a dime-sized hole for the opening.
Spray two mini donut pans with cooking spray and pip in the batter until 3/4ths full. Place in the oven for 7-8 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
|| Frosting || Mix the frosting ingredients together and microwave in 30-second increments until it’s a drizzle consistency. Dip the donuts into the frosting and place sprinkles on immediately. Mix the frosting in between each donut. You will need to re-heat the frosting as needed every few minutes.
