- brandy
- 1 Brown Butter glaze
Prepare
- Freshly grated nutmeg, for dusting
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Prepare the cake dough of your choice, reducing the sugar to 3 tablespoons and replacing the milk with ¼ to ⅔ cup eggnog (at room temperature) and the vanilla with 1 tablespoon of brandy. Mix until the dough comes together.
-
Step 2.
Fry or bake the doughnuts according to the recipe's instructions. For traditional doughnuts, fry in oil at 350°F until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side; for drop doughnuts, drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels.
-
Step 3.
While the doughnuts cool slightly, prepare the Brown Butter glaze as directed, replacing the milk with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy. Stir until smooth.
-
Step 4.
Dip the slightly cooled doughnuts into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Dust the tops with freshly grated nutmeg before serving.
