Ingredients

Doughnuts

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 vanilla beans cut down the middle, scrapped of seeds
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cherries pitted, cut into eight pieces

Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Doughnuts

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the doughnut pan with extra butter or cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine the milk, butter, vinegar, vanilla extract, vanilla seeds and egg in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts.
  • Add butter mixture to flour mixture and with a wooden spoon, stir to combine. When the mixture is combined, fold in the cherries.
  • Spoon or pipe the mixture into the prepared doughnut pan. Bake for 13-14 minutes until the finished doughnuts edges come off the pan. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 minute, then finish cooling on rack. If using the same pan again, wait 5 minutes before filling the pan a second time.

Vanilla Glaze

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a wire whisk. Wait 1-2 minutes for the glaze to thicken before dipping the doughnuts in the glaze.
