12 ingredients, 1 bowl, and a donut pan is all you need to bake your favorite old fashioned Sour Cream Glazed Donuts. They are quick, easy, and perfect anytime.
Preheat oven to 350 °F and prepare the donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the sour cream, granular sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until pale in color and well combined.
Add flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Fold until just combined, careful to not over mix.
Place donut batter into a piping bag or gallon bag. Cut a 1/2 inch hole at the tip.
Pipe the batter equally into the 6 cavities of the donut pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they spring back to the touch and are golden brown.
Allow the Sour Cream Donuts to cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then remove and move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Vanilla Glaze
In a bowl combine the powdered sugar, melted unsalted butter, hot water, vanilla extract, pinch of salt.
Gently dip the cooled Sour Cream Donuts into the glaze, covering them completely. Place on a baking rack and cookie sheet for excess glaze to drip off.
Continue with all 6 donuts and allow the vanilla glaze to dry completely.
