  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a doughnut pan.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill the Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
