These lemon rose donuts are delicately beautiful both in flavor and visually. I love these as a treat to bring for book club, bridal showers, baby showers or if you have guests visiting. They are easy to make but leave a major wow factor.
I want to note ahead of time I find using caster sugar in baked donuts really creates a better texture than regular sugar. You easily Prime it to your door as well along with any of the other items you may be needing. All of the fancy things are linked below.
Ingredients
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 ounce vegetable oil (I used sunflower oil)
3/4 cup un-sweetened almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I always choose organic)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp rose water
2 cups self rising flour
1 lemons zest
For the glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp of rose water
1 tsp of lemon juice
Decoration
Optional edible grade dried roses/rose petals
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350F and spray two donut tins with coconut oil if you are using not using non-stick tins. I have non-stick tins and did not have to spray them.
Mix together the caster sugar, almond milk, vegetable/sunflower oil, vanilla extract, rose water, applesauce and lemon zest into a bowl.
Slowly add self ring flour.
Divide the batter into the two trays. I use a spoon to avoid as much cross over of the better onto the pan.
Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the tin immediately and let cool on baking rack with baking sheet under for future step.
To make the glaze start by mixing together the powdered sugar, water, lemon juice and rose water until smooth. If the consistency seems too runny add 1/2 tsp of powdered sugar bit by bit. The glaze should not be as runny as water but not as firm as frosting.
Dip each donut into the bowl of glaze and return to rack. Add additional glaze by drizzling on top with spoon if desired. I added an additional spoon onto each donut. The baking sheet under the rack should catch any additional glaze that spills off.
If you are adding edible roses to the donuts or any other decor do this step immediately before the glaze sets so they stick properly.
