Finally, a baked buttermilk doughnut recipe that is crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside! You won't think you're eating a doughnut-shaped muffin with this one! You could also toss the doughnuts in a cinnamon-sugar mix, glaze them with confectioners' sugar-water icing, or frost them with chocolate frosting.

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar (Optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position. Coat a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
Sift flour, white sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture; stir until absorbed. Stir in buttermilk mixture; mix well. Let batter rest 10 to 15 minutes.
Pour batter by scant 1 tablespoonfuls into wells of each doughnut cup in the prepared pan. Distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each cup using the back of a spoon; you won't use all of the batter in this batch.
Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Place confectioners' sugar in a small paper bag; add doughnuts and toss to coat.
Coat the doughnut pan with cooking spray. Repeat process with remaining batter and confectioners' sugar.
