Baked Donut Monday: Salted Caramel

Oh hello there Monday!!!

I'm back again for another Baked Donut Monday post

and today I'm going to tell you about some super tasty

SALTED CARAMEL BAKED DONUTS!

As I mentioned in last month's post,

I spent a lot of time figuring out the next few donuts to make.

When I found this recipe I was so excited and couldn't wait to make it.

But I had patience (very little) and waited until it was time to make donuts.

The Goods:

All-Purpose Flour

Cake Flour

Sugar

Baking Powder

Salt

Ground Nutmeg

Butter

Eggs

Milk

Sour Cream

Vanilla

Brown Sugar

Corn Syrup

Heavy Cream

Powdered Sugar

Sea Salt Flakes

Add both flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and ground nutmeg to large bowl.

Stir well and set aside.

Beat the eggs in a large mixing cup.

Add the milk, sour cream and vanilla.

Then beat until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Stir until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Transfer donut batter to a large zipper bag.

Cut off the end of the zipper bag 

and fill your donut pan until 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

You can test that they're done with a toothpick.

While donuts are baking, start the caramel sauce!

Add brown sugar, salt and butter in sauce pan over medium heat.

Remove donuts from oven once done and cool in pan for a few minutes.

Continue making the caramel sauce while donuts are cooling.

Stir often until butter and sugar are combined, then reduce heat to simmer.

Add cream and corn syrup, allowing caramel to slowly boil and thicken for 8 minutes.

Once donuts are cool to the touch, 

remove from pan and finish cooling completely.

After 8 minutes, remove caramel from the heat and add vanilla.

Carefully stir in the powdered sugar slowly.

And your caramel is now done!!!

Dip each donut into the warm caramel sauce,

then quickly add sea salt flakes before it sets.
