Add a photoWho doesn't love a freshly made doughnut? In trying to "healthify" a deep-fried treat, I found this recipe on King Arthur Flour. You do need to buy a doughnut pan (I found mine at World Market) in order to bake these into a doughnut shape that we all know and love. I sprayed a little water on the baked doughnuts and then rolled them in cinnamon sugar. Were they as good as Krispy Kreme? No. With a cup of coffee, they actually tasted better the next day. We found them to be a satisfying way to enjoy a doughnut without all the fat gram guilt. It's certainly worth a try.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Unbleached Pastry flour or ⅞ 1 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ tespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons dried buttermilk powder*
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- If you don't have buttermilk powder on hand, substitute 2 tablespoons buttermilk or yogurt for the water-- and I used 1% buttermilk.
Directions
- For a non-stick doughnut pan, preheat to 325F
- Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, oil and water (or buttermilk or yogurt) until foamy.
- Pour the liquid ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Butter or grease the doughnut pan; non-stick pan spray works well here. Note: even though the pan is non-stick, since the doughnuts are low-fat they may stick unless you grease the pan first.
- Fill each doughnut form half full.
- Bake the doughnuts in a preheated 375°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. When done, they'll spring back when touched lightly, and will be quite brown on the top.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oven, remove them from the pan, and allow them to cool on rack.
- Glaze with icing, or coat with cinnamon-sugar or any non-melting sugar.
- Tips from our bakers * Using pastry flour will make a more tender doughnut.
