Let’s make coffee and peanut butter donuts together!
Start by melting the butter and making the coffee and letting them cool, then in a bowl pour the egg, sugar, and water and mix well with a spoon.
Now add the melted butter (now cool), coffee, and peanut butter, mix well with a spoon (or with electric beaters if you prefer) until you have a homogeneous mixture.
Now add the flour and baking powder to the “liquid” mixture and mix from bottom to top until you get a well-dense and lump-free mixture, if you find it difficult with the spoon feel free to use electric beaters (or a stand mixer), set aside the mixture for a moment.
Take the donut pan and grease it with a silicone brush and with the little butter left in the pot after melting, NO need to flour, mind you!
Using a kitchen spoon, pour the mixture into the molds, about 2 spoonfuls of mixture will go into each mold; continue until finished, then level the surface of the donuts with the tip of the spoon, lightly tap the pan on the table to remove any air left.
Preheat the oven to 392°F and when it’s hot enough bake and cook for 20 minutes (always do the toothpick test anyway because ovens are not all the same!), once cooked remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool completely before unmolding! Enjoy your meal!
