Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup sour cream
4 tablespoons milk
5 tablespoons butter melted and divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped fresh cranberries (can use frozen)
½ cup white chocolate chips
Sugar for coating
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
In a bowl mix together your dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Add your egg, sour cream, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract and stir until just combined.
Fold in your cranberries and white chocolate chips.
Spray your donut pan with non-stick cooking spray and pipe or spoon your donut batter into wells.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden.
Remove your donuts from the oven and invert onto a cooling rack, let cool until able to handle.
Brush each donut with remaining melted butter and toss in sugar.
Don’t have a donut pan? Turn the same batter into a tender loaf cake instead. Two bakes, one batter—equally festive and simple.
Loaf Variation Directions:
Grease and line a small loaf pan.
Pour in the batter from the donut recipe and bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool, brush with butter, and sprinkle with sugar (or drizzle with a simple glaze).
