BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
• Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
• Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
• Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
• Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

BAKED PUMPKIN BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease or spray a non-stick 6 count doughnut pan. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Lightly sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
• Recipe can easily be doubled. I baked for 12 minutes, but, depending on your stove temp, these might be better cooked for 10 minutes.

BAKED PUMPKIN DONUTS

Steps:

• Pepita Sugar:Pulse pepitas in a food processor until fine. Add sugar and cinnamon; pulse to combine. Sugar can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week. (Makes 1 cup.)
• Donuts:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with butter. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
• Beat butter with both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then flour mixture in two additions, alternating with buttermilk and pumpkin.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe 3 tablespoons batter into each cup of pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 11 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool until just warm to the touch, 10 minutes more.
• Brush donuts with melted butter and toss in pepita sugar, then return to racks. Donuts are best served the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.
