Coffee

Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a coffee maker, add the freshly ground coffee beans and water. Brew according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once brewed, add sugar to taste and stir until dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Milk or Cream

    Pour the brewed coffee into cups and add milk or cream to your liking. If desired, stir in cocoa powder for an additional flavor.

Donut Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. 6

    Shape the Donuts

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  5. 7

    Bake the Donuts

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  6. 8

    Glaze the Donuts

    While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little water until you achieve a smooth consistency. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze or spread with chocolate frosting if desired.
