Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini donut pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vinegar, oil, and vanilla extract until frothy.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until gently golden.
  7. Let the donuts cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
