How to Make Vanilla Donuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease your cupcake pan.
In a bowl you will add your flour, nutmeg, sugar, and baking powder and salt. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Then in a large bowl add your egg, milk, vanilla, and oil. Mix well to incorporate the ingredients.
Add in the dry ingredients and once mixed and lumps are gone. Pour into a piping bag.
Pipe 3/4 way full in each of the donut pan cavity. Then bake for 10-12 minutes or until donuts are done.
When you remove flip the pan upside down on a cooling rack and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then lift the pan up to release the donuts.
Let the donuts fully cool before frosting.

How to Make Frosting

In a stand mixer beat your softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy cream on medium speed.
You want to form stiff peaks. Once it does add in the sky blue food coloring and mix to incorporate.
Pour the frosting in a piping bag with a large star tip.

Decorate Donuts

Take your cooled donuts and place on a parchment lined tray. One at a time you will begin to pipe on the blue frosting. It is okay if it is a little messy as it mimics his hair.
Place two eyes in the center above the donut hole center.
Then at the bottom place half of a cookie in the mouth of the donut. To look like he is eating a cookie. If you want you can do a whole cookie depending on the size.

Notes

Donuts - You can make any of your favorite donut flavors. I did just a classic vanilla donut.

Frosting - If you don't want to use frosting you can make a blue donut glaze to dip the donuts in. It won't hold the cookie the way you want, as the frosting is nice and stiff.

Store - Store donuts in a covered dish for 1-2 days. These are best eaten fresh.
