KING CAKE DONUTS

KING CAKE DONUTS Serves: 7 or 8 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 egg 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup 1 or 2% milk 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt 1 tablespoon butter melted 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted 2 tablespoons whole milk 1 teaspoon almond extract purple, yellow and green sprinkles for decorating Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and nutmeg In another medium bowl whisk the egg, brown sugar, milk and yogurt until it is very smooth. Add the melted butter and vanilla until well combined Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until it is just combined. You do not want to overmix and the batter will be very thick. For easier use, place the batter in a large baggie and clip off the corner. Pipe the batter into the donut cups (about 2/3's full) Bake for 9-10 minutes - the edges should be light brown. Remove and cool on a rack Combine the sifted powdered sugar, almond extract and milk. Dip each donut into the icing and place back on rack (place something underneath to catch any dripped icing). Immediately place each color of sprinkles on (in thirds)
