Step-by-Step Instructions for Glazed Lemon Donut Holes

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your donut pan by greasing it.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, lemon juice, and melted butter until fully combined.
  • In another bowl, mix together the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and flour until evenly distributed.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, gently stirring until just combined.
  • Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cavity of the donut pan about ⅔ full.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • While the donut holes are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
  • Once cooled, dip each donut hole into the glaze and place on the cooling rack to let the glaze set.

Notes

For an extra citrus kick, add a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest to the batter.
