Ingredients

2T (28g)                   Butter

1/8C (25g)               Vegetable oil

1/4C (50g)               Granulated sugar

1/6C (35g)               Light or dark brown sugar (Packed)

1 large                     Egg

3/4t                          Baking powder

1/8t                          Baking soda

1/2t                          Nutmeg

3/8t                          Salt

1/2t                          Vanilla extract

1-1/3C (160g)          AP flour

1/2C (114g)             Milk

Process

Preheat oven to 425F

Prepare pan with baking spray

In a medium sized mixing bowl beat the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars until smooth

Add the eggs, beating to combine

Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla

Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined

The batter will be fairly thick.  When you draw your spatula through the batter, it will leave a furrow

Spoon the batter into lightly greased doughnut pans, filling them to about 1/4inch shy of the rim

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and wait 5 to 7 minutes before turning them out onto a rack
