• 1 tsp baking powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray donut pan with nonstick spray.

2. Whisk together the egg with 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Then add in the butter, milk, sugar, yogurt, and mix until combined.

3. Stir in the baking soda and baking powder into the flour. Then add this flour mix into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth.

4. Fill the donut pans up about 3/4 of the way, this recipes makes about 6 donuts. Bake donuts for about 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.

   Powdered Sugar donuts

   1. When the donuts are cooled, place the donuts into a Ziploc bag containing powdered sugar. Shake around gently until donut is covered with powdered sugar.

   Chocolate covered donuts

   1. Cut up squares of your favorite chocolate, or use chocolate chips, and place chocolate into a bowl and melt in the microwave in intervals of 15 seconds. At each interval, be sure to stir the chocolate. When melted, work quickly, and use a small spatula to spread the chocolate onto the donut. Feel free to drizzle the chocolate onto your donuts as well. It is hard to go wrong with chocolate!
