  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate ganache or melted chocolate for drizzling
  • Fresh or edible red food coloring (for realism)
  • Doughnut holes (optional for filling)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the donut batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
  2. Fill the donut molds: Pour the batter into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a cut tip. Fill your donut pan about 3/4 full. For mini bullet holes, use mini muffin tins.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Create bullet holes: Use a small rounded object like the end of a piping tip or a rounded spoon to gently cut a hole in the center of each donut, mimicking a bullet entry point.
  5. Decorate with bullet impact: Drizzle melted chocolate over the donuts. Use red icing or edible food coloring to add blood-like effects for realism.
  6. Optional – Add realism: Sprinkle edible glitter or use a candy cane to mimic shrapnel or dents for extra cinematic effect.

Notes

  • For extra realism, consider using edible gels or colored icing to simulate blood effects.
  • Ensure donuts are fully cooled before decorating to prevent melting of toppings.
  • Use a piping bag or resealable bag for easy batter filling.
