Ingredients

1 egg

1/2 cup caster sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 cup milk

50 gram butter, melted

2 cup plain flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

Method

1.Using an electric mixer, beat egg, sugar and 1 teaspoon essence in a small bowl until creamy. Stir in milk and half butter. Stir in combined sifted flour and baking powder to form a soft dough. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 30 minutes.

2.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface. Pat dough to 1-1 1/2cm thick. Using a 5cm floured biscuit cutter, cut dough into 16 rounds. Using a 2.5cm cutter, cut out the centre of each round. Place doughnuts (and centres) on prepared tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

3.Combine icing sugar, remaining essence and 1 1/2-2 tablespoons boiling water in a medium heatproof bowl; stir to make a runny glaze.

4.Dip doughnuts into warm glaze and decorate with sprinkles.
