Ingredients

Buttermilk Peach Donut ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups naturally flavored/sweetened Peach Nectar , boiled down to ¼ cup; cooled to room temperature
  • 1 cup Peaches peeled, pitted, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted Butter , room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated Sugar
  • 2 eggs , room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose Gluten Free Flour blend* (or regular flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Buttermilk Peach Glaze ingredients:

  • 1 cup Confectioner’s Sugar
  • 1 cup naturally flavored/sweetened Peach Nectar boiled down to ¼ cup
  • 1 tablespoon Buttermilk

Supplies

  • 1-2 standard size donut shape baking pan (s)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl cream the butter with a mixer. Add granulated sugar and cream together.
  • Add eggs, one at a time. Mix to combine.
  • In a blender combine the peaches and the ¼ cup reduced peach nectar. Blend into a puree. Add the ¼ cup buttermilk and blend to fully combine. Add to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, and mix fully to combine.
  • In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, Chinese five spice, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients using a mixer to ensure they are fully combined.
  • Prepare donut pans with cooking spray or if non-stick grease with butter. Fill the donut cavities no more than 2/3 full. Place in the oven for 7-9 minutes until donuts spring back to the touch.
  • Remove donuts and allow to sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While the donuts are cooling combine the confectioner’s sugar, 1 tablespoon of buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of the ¼ cup reduced peach nectar specified for the glaze. Using a mixer, mix the ingredients until fully combine. Continue to add more reduced peach nectar until desired consistency is achieved (I ended up using the full 4 tablespoons in the batch illustrated here).
  • Place a baking sheet underneath the cooling rack with the donuts. Drizzle the glaze over the donuts and allow the glaze to harden before eating.

Notes
