Mermaid doughnuts

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp buttermilk

• 3 Tbsp whipping cream
• ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
• Drop of vanilla extract
• Blue, pink, and purple food coloring
• Brown sugar
• Pearl-like gum balls or candies
• Silver star sprinkles
• Chocolate Seashell Truffles

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a doughnut pan.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined—make sure not to overmix.
3. Spoon the batter into a piping bag, then pipe the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 7 minutes. Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then flip the pan over to remove the doughnuts and cool completely on a wire rack.
4. To make the glaze, whisk together the whipping cream and confectioner’s sugar until fully combined. Add a small drop of vanilla extract and mix to combine. Divide the glaze into 3 bowls and dye one each pale blue, pink, and purple. Dollop a bit of each color into a larger bowl.
5. Dunk the doughnuts into the glaze. The marble pattern will continue to change as you dunk more doughnuts. Place them on a wire rack. Sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar on top to look like sand and decorate with gum ball “pearls” and silver star sprinkles. Top with the Chocolate Seashell Truffles. Enjoy!
