Get sleepy heads out of bed with this easy baked donut recipe. They’re easy to make and only require a few basic ingredients, so they'll be ready in no time! Made in a standard donut pan, these donuts are baked, not fried! The base of this donut pairs well with a variety of different glazes and toppings - time to get creative! This donut recipe is also a great project for beginner bakers.

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups cake flour, sifted*
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup buttermilk**
