We all love Winnie the Pooh! I love that warm fuzzy feeling I got when reading about his adventures with his friends in the 100 Acre Woods. Pooh was always the most lovable bear! Two of my favorite quotes:
“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
Of course, if you eat too many of these donuts, you might get a little tubby too!
Makes 15 donuts
Donuts ingredients:
- 1 C flour
- 1/3 C sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 C + 1 1/2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Vanilla glaze
- 1 C powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tbsp whole milk
- Yellow and Red gel food coloring
- Black cookie icing
- 1 bag of yellow candy melting wafers, you will need 30 candy wafers in total
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degree’s and spray a donut baking pan with Pam baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Spoon batter into donut pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 6 minutes before removing and placing the donuts onto a wire rack.
Repeat steps until all batter is used.
Vanilla glaze Directions:
In a large bowl combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and milk and mix until combined. If the glaze has powdered sugar clumps still, mix in another tbsp of milk
Split the glaze into two bowls.
In one bowl add in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring and mix until combined. You will want to try and get the yellow glaze to match the yellow candy melts.
In the second bowl, mix in a few drops of the red gel coloring. Add in a few more drops of red until you get Pooh’s bright red shade. Cover and set aside.
Decorating Directions :
Make sure that your wire rack is on top of a larger cookie sheet so that when you pour the yellow glaze onto the donuts, the glaze will not drip onto the counter.
Grab a cooled doughnut and cut a slit into the side of the donut for Pooh’s ears.
Lightly push in a candy melt into the slit.
Repeat step with the other side of the donut and remaining donuts.
Place the donuts onto the wire rack and pour the yellow glaze onto the donuts. Allow glaze to dry for an hour before adding the red glaze.
Once the yellow glaze has slightly hardened, take a large knife, spatula or anything that is flat and carefully place in the middle of the donut.
Do not touch the donut because this is going to act as a shield for when you pour the red glaze on.
Carefully pour the red glaze onto the lower half of Pooh’s donut. Using the black icing, pipe on his face details.
Allow to dry for an hour before enjoying!
