The Steps
Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray, use a paper towel to lightly spread/remove excess spray.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl combine the milk, egg, and oil until well blended. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mix just until combined.
- Add in the pineapple and walnuts and gently fold to combine.
- Transfer the batter to a large piping bag or use a ziploc bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each donut hole about 2/3 full. Alternatively, spoon the batter into the donut pan.
- Bake the donuts for 10-14 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the donuts sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove the donuts from the donut pan and place them on a wire rack to cool.
White Chocolate Glaze
- Melt either the vanilla candiquik and vegetable shortening or white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is melted, about 8 minutes.
- For dipping the donuts, it’s easiest to transfer the glaze to a small shallow dish, but large enough to fit a donut in. While hanging onto the edges of the donut, dip each donut into the chocolate and pause for a few seconds while the donut is upside down to allow to excess to fall off. Place the donuts on a cooling rack.
Pineapple Drizzle
- Put the chopped or crushed pineapple in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a squeeze bottle and top each donut with pineapple drizzle if desired.
