2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and fluffiness; use fresh flour for the best results.
2 tsp baking powder Essential for rising, ensuring your baked donuts are light and airy.
1 tsp baking soda Works with baking powder to enhance the batter's fluffiness; don't skip this!
1/2 tsp salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors, making your donuts taste even better.
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg Introduces warm, spicy flavors; it’s reminiscent of traditional donut recipes.
3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens and contributes to the delightful texture on the outside.
2 large eggs Adds moisture and binds the ingredients together for a perfect dough.
1 cup milk Adds richness; any type (dairy or plant-based) works well.
2 tsp vanilla extract Enhances flavor with a sweet aroma that makes your donuts irresistible.
1/4 cup melted butter Ensures moisture and flavor, keeping the donuts soft and delectable.

1 cup powdered sugar For coating, creating that classic sweet finish that makes these donuts a treat.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, large eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Lightly spray your donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
Take a plastic bag, fill it with the batter, and snip off one corner. Pipe the batter into each donut cavity halfway full.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
While warm, place the donuts in a plastic bag with powdered sugar, gently shake until coated.

Optional: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the powdered sugar for an extra layer of flavor!
