Baked Donut Monday: Lemon Poppy Seed

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I'm back again for another Baked Donut Monday post

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

LEMON POPPY SEED BAKED DONUTS!

I'm a HUGE fan of lemon desserts,

and had yet to make a lemon baked donut,

so when I found this recipe I had to add it to my list!

The Goods:

Flour

Baking Powder

Salt

Poppy Seeds

Sugar

Eggs

Milk

Butter

Fresh Lemon Juice

Lemon Zest

Vanilla

Powdered Sugar

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds in a large bowl.

Whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, butter, 

lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla in another bowl.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Then mix 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 greased donut pan until 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

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

Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

While donuts are cooling, make your lemon glaze

by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.  

If glaze is too thick, add just a little more lemon juice to thin out.

Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to wire rack for glaze to set.

Finally taste test your donut!
