Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, **whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar**, salt, and vanilla until the mixture forms a frothy texture. This should create a light and airy base for your donuts.
Next, add the **sour cream and vegetable oil** to the egg mixture. Mix again until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the **sifted flour and baking powder** to the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix to keep your donuts fluffy.
Step 2
Using a piping bag, **carefully fill your donut molds** with the batter. Aim to fill each mold about halfway to allow room for the donuts to rise while baking.
Ensure that your molds are properly greased to prevent sticking, especially if they are not non-stick.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)**. Place the filled molds into the oven and bake for approximately **20 to 25 minutes**.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a donut; it should come out clean when they're fully baked. Once done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the **powdered sugar, lemon juice**, and **water**. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and has no lumps. It should have a pourable consistency, perfect for glazing.
Step 5
Once the donuts have cooled, **drizzle the lemon glaze** over the tops of each donut. You can use a spoon or the piping bag to control the amount of glaze.
If desired, add **sprinkles or toppings** to enhance the appearance and flavor of your donuts. Enjoy your delicious homemade baked biscuit donuts!
Servings
When it comes to serving these delightful donuts, the world is your oyster! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven while still warm, drizzled with your favorite glaze. Consider serving with a side of fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries for a sweet touch. For a real treat, sprinkle some powdered sugar or colorful sprinkles for that extra fun party vibe! 🌈
Take it to the next level by pairing these donuts with a cup of steaming coffee or a glass of cold milk. 🥛 This classic combination brings sheer joy to your taste buds and creates the perfect start to any morning!
If you’re feeling adventurous, why not create a donut bar? Invite your friends over, set out various toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or melted chocolate, and let everyone decorate their own donuts! It’s interactive, it’s fun, and it makes for some amazing Instagram shots! 📸
Equipment
These pans are essential for baking perfect donuts without the hassle of sticking. Look for high-quality silicone or coated metal pans to ensure your donuts pop out easily!
You’ll need at least two good mixing bowls: one for wet ingredients and one for dry. Glass or stainless steel bowls work best as they are durable and easy to clean.
Using an electric mixer will save you time and energy when mixing eggs and sugar until fluffy. If you don’t have one, a good whisk will do the job—just put in some elbow grease!

Variations
Looking for ways to make these donuts fit your dietary needs? Here are some delicious versions! 🌿
Gluten-Free: Use an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour. This will ensure you can enjoy these fluffy treats without the gluten. Mix in a bit of xanthan gum if your blend doesn't already contain it for added texture!
Vegan: Swap the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg). Replace the sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt or applesauce for moisture. These substitutions keep the texture and flavor fabulous without any animal products!
Faq
- Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes! Just add an additional teaspoon of baking powder for every cup of regular flour to achieve similar rise.
- What do I do if my donuts are too dense?
Make sure not to overmix the batter—gentle folding is key. Also, check your baking powder’s expiration date; old leavening agents can affect the outcome!
- Can I freeze these donuts?
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap them in plastic and store in the freezer. They can last for up to three months. Just reheat them in the oven before serving!
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep any extras in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge.
- Why did my glaze not set properly?
Ensure your glaze mixture has the right consistency—mix until it’s thick but still pourable. You can adjust with more sugar or liquid as needed.
- How can I add flavor to the batter?
Add some vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even a dash of cinnamon for a delightful twist. The possibilities are endless!
