Servings: 16 doughnuts plus doughnut holes
Ingredients
For the doughnuts
- 3 ¼ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel

For the glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until thick and lemon colored. In a small bowl, combine the orange peel, orange juice and butter.
- Add the orange juice mixture and dry ingredients alternately to the egg mixture. Beat with electric mixer just until blended after each addition. Cover and chill dough for at least 2 hours.
