- Heat oven to 350F and prepare a 6 welled donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until the butter and sugar are evenly mixed. 
- Add two eggs and beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the eggs are light and frothy. 
- Pour in milk and vanilla and beat again just to make sure all of the ingredients are mixed well. 
- Using a sifter or mesh colander, add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. 
- Finish by sifting the remaining dry ingredients and stir until batter forms. 
- Pour batter into prepared donut pan and bake for 20 minutes or until the donuts begin to brown. Cool completely before removing from pan.
