Make-It-Mine Baked Donuts

1. Coat six indentations of a doughnut pan or nine 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, Spice, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

2. In a small bowl combine egg, Stir-In, and yogurt. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until combined (do not overmix).

3. Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe batter into the prepared doughnut pan indentations or muffin cups. Lightly coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Place plastic wrap, coated side down, over doughnut batter. Chill for 2 to 24 hours.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap. Bake about 15 minutes or until doughnuts are light golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully invert pan to remove doughnuts.

5. As soon as doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip or spread with Dipper(s) and, if desired, sprinkle with Topper(s). Serve warm.
