2. Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Food coloring (blue, purple, pink, and black)
Glaze (powdered sugar, milk, and edible glitter)
Optional: edible stars or sprinkles for decoration

3. Step-by-step Instructions

Mixing the Cosmic Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Divide the dough into four portions and tint each with different food colors—blue, purple, pink, and black—using food coloring gels. Mix thoroughly to create vibrant, space-inspired dough.

Forming the Galactic Rings

On a floured surface, roll out each colored dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two circular cutters of different sizes to cut out ring-shaped donuts. For extra space vibes, create small star-shaped cutouts using a star-shaped cookie cutter and place them on top of the rings before baking.

Baking the Space Donuts

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the donuts on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through. Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing.

Cosmic Icing and Decoration

Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a few teaspoons of milk until smooth. Divide the glaze into bowls, adding the remaining food colors to each for a vibrant, galaxy-like effect. Dip each donut into the colored glaze, then sprinkle with edible glitter and star-shaped sprinkles to mimic stars and planets. Let the glaze set for a few minutes.

4. Storage Tips

Store leftover Galactic Donut Rings in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To keep their freshness, rewarm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before serving again.

5. Serving Suggestions

Arrange your cosmic treats on a starry-themed platter and serve with galaxy-themed drinks for an unforgettable party experience. These space donuts are perfect for birthday parties, sci-fi movie nights, or any celebration that calls for an out-of-this-world dessert. Pair them with other space-inspired snacks or include the Ring of Power Donuts for a comprehensive galactic spread.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
