Ingredients

Donuts

  • 4 eggs
  • cup molasses
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground clove
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Glaze

  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • red and green sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs then stir in molasses, sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until uniform. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and sea salt.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined and no dry pockets remain.
