Method
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (218˚C). Lightly grease a mini donut pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and lemon zests together. Add brown sugar and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter for 2 minutes. Add lemon sugars and vegetable oil, and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat to combine. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla with a spatula.
- Stir and add the flour and milk to the butter mixture alternately in 3 additions, starting and finishing with the flour. Mix until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag or Ziploc bag, and fill the donut pan with batter up to the rim.
- Bake for about 6 – 8 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness. The toothpick should come out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Glazing
- For the glaze, in a medium bowl, add powdered sugar. Add the milk, 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, and pink food coloring (if using). Whisk until smooth, adding more lemon juice if the frosting is too thick.
- Glaze the donuts and let them set for 20 minutes.

Notes
