PREPARATION
40 MINUTES / 18 SERVINGS
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease a standard-sized donut pan and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and set aside. Add the eggs and continue to mix. Add the cream and oil, mixing unitl just incorporated. Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder alternating with the Yellowbird Habanero Condiment and lime juice. Fold in the zest, mixing just until a uniform batter has formed.
- Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe it into the cavities of the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity to its top. Bake for approximately 16 minutes: finished donuts will be just starting to turn a golden brown color at the edges. Remove baked donuts and set aside to cool completely. Then, carefully remove from pan and set on a cooling rack.
- To prepare the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, lime juice, and Yellowbird Habanero Condiment in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over top and serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
