Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate glaze (for dipping)
  • Caramel (for shell)
  • Vanilla bean cream (for filling)
  • Thin strips of donut dough (for antennae and legs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  2. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in another bowl.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling cavities two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  9. Pipe a ring of caramel around the edge of each donut.
  10. Fill each donut with vanilla bean cream using a piping bag.
  11. Create antennae and legs with strips of donut dough and fry until crispy.

Notes

Ensure to mix ingredients only until combined to keep donuts fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best results.
