Baked Lemon Earl Grey Donuts
Makes 6 Donuts
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
2 tsp Lemon Ginger Earl Grey tea
1 egg
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup milk of your choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp oil
1/3 cup brown sugar
juice from 1/4 lemon
2 tsp orange marmalade
For the glaze:
1 3/4 cup icing sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice, strained
1 tsp Lemon Ginger Earl Grey tea
1/4 milk of your choice
Optional: cinnamon, lemon peel, lemon slices
Instructions:
Warm your milk gently in the microwave, add tea and let it steep and infuse for about 30 minutes, then strain.
Lightly grease a donut baking pan (cooking spray works great), preheat the oven to 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and set aside.
In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients: egg, yogurt, lemon juice, marmalade, steeped milk, vanilla extract, oil, and sugar. Mix well.
Using spatula gently mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined (don’t over mix).
Using a small spoon carefully add batter to donut pan. Fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake your donuts for about 10-12 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes than gently transfer to a cooling rack.
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil, then turn off the heat, add in the tea leaves and let the tea infuse for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes are up, strain the tea into a bowl. Add the rest of ingredients for the glaze and whisk together.
Dip donuts into the glaze and put them on a cooling rack to dry.
Feel free to decorate your donuts with lemon peel/slices or dust with a cinnamon.
Enjoy!
