"Featured @ BAKEorBREAKdotcom by Jennifer (1 of my favorite food bloggers) who describes herself as "an amateur baker who specializes in low-effort & high-reward recipes" & she gets it right. NONE of her recipes have ever failed me. While traveling in the US, I bought 2 6-cavity doughnut pans & then found this recipe in my email in-box while I was unpacking from our trip. I don't trust coincidence all that much, but I do believe in signs that point to my cooking future. I hope you'll try this recipe & ENJOY the outcome."

Step by Step Method

TO MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS


Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan.

Step 2

Line a rimmed baking sheet w/parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the coconut in a single layer on the pan.

Step 3

Bake for 10-12 min (stirring occasionally) until golden brown & set aside to cool.

Step 4

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Set aside.

Step 5

Using an electric mixer on med speed, beat the butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Add the egg & vanilla & mix well.

Step 6

Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 portions, alternating w/2 portions of the coconut milk.

Step 7

Set aside about 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut for garnish. Stir the remainder into the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter among the cavities in the pan, filling them almost to the top w/4-5 tbsp of batter. Use a sml spoon or spatula to spread the batter evenly.

Step 9

Bake 12-15 min or until the doughnuts are golden brown & a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Cool in the pan for 5 min. Then transfer the doughnuts to a wire rack to cool completely.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE

Step 13

Sprinkle w/the reserved toasted coconut.

Step 14

Allow the glaze to set for about 5 min before serving.

HINTS on 10/25/17: I made this recipe today & have hints for you - 1) Develop a healthy respect for those who make homemade doughnuts easily & well. It's not easy, but practice will get you there. 2) Do not fill the cavities "almost to the top" as suggested above. 2/3 to 3/4 full is plenty, so accept that you'll have to bake them in 2 batches if you only have 1 6-cavity pan. 3) I had a fair amt of excess glaze & toasted coconut, but it's hard to judge if that would happen w/o the overfill. My yield may have been as high as 10 & used more of the glaze & coconut. I have also changed the yield on this recipe. 4) Bake time was also longer than expected, likely due to the overfill. 5) I dipped ea doughnut into the bowl of glaze & then pressed it into the mounded toasted coconut. It was faster & more uniform than sprinkling the coconut randomly. That's it. Good Luck! :-)
