Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the goodness of making these donuts! Start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine the sugar and cream cheese, mixing until it’s nice and creamy. Then, add in the egg, milk, and vanilla, stirring until everything is well-combined. Gradually blend in the flour mixture until you have a thick, fluffy batter. The smell of vanilla will fill your kitchen, and I absolutely love that aroma! Oh, and make sure you have your peaches prepped and ready because we’re going to add those soon! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
