A soft tender vanilla donut dipped in a creamy pink frosting and topped with colorful sprinkles for Valentine's Day!
Preheat oven to 375. Grease donut tin.
Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Add in the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Stir until just combined.
Scoop the batter into a Ziploc bag. Cut the end to create a piping bag.
Pipe the dough into the donut tin holes. Fill 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the oven for 10-11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of half and half in a medium mixing bowl. Continue to add the additional half and half until the frosting reaches the consistency you desire. Add in a very small amount of the gel (follow instructions on the jar) until you have the color you like.
Dip the cooled donuts into the frosting and place them on a cooling rack. Add sprinkles. (Optional).
