Equipment
Ingredients
For The Mojito Donuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter room temperature
For The Glaze
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon dried mint
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Warm the milk and melt the butter. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, rum, egg, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the butter melts, about one to two minutes.
- Add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Remove from the heat and add the milk mixture to the flour mixture; mix until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the doughnut pan. Using a large tablespoon, spoon the batter mixture into the pan.
- Bake. Pop the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Cool. Remove the donuts from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
- Make the glaze. While the doughnuts are cooling, begin to work on the glaze. Place the milk, lime juice, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until combined and no lumps appear.
- Dip the doughnuts. Remove the glaze from the heat and set the saucepan over a bowl of hot water to keep it warm. Stir in the dried mint. Dip each doughnut into the glaze, one at a time, and place it glaze-side up on a wire rack. Set a plate or wax paper underneath the rack to catch any drips.
- Serve.
