Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray your donut pan with non stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, both spices and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk your eggs, then add the cream, butter and vanilla and whisk until incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend just until incorporated. It will be a little thick, don’t worry about this. Fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Open a freezer bag and dump the dough into the bag. Seal the bag and snip the bottom corner off one side.
- Pipe the dough into your donut pan about ? full.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You can tell they are done because if you press on the donut, it will spring back up.
- Allow to completely cool on a rack before icing.
For the Icing:
- In a blender, pulverize the cranberries with a couple of drops of water.
- Add the cream and blend.
- Pour 1 cup at a time of powdered sugar into the blender and blend. If you want a thinner icing, only use the 1st cup. If you want a thicker icing, use the second cup of powdered sugar.
- Pour or brush the icing over the donuts. Enjoy!
