HOW TO MAKE DONUTS WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
Make the donuts : Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter until well blended.
Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (I use a ziploc with the corner snipped, much easier!).
Bake donuts in 325 degree oven for about 11-14 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
Top the donuts off with mini chocolate scobs.
