Items needed to answer the question, How do I create a galaxy-themed Shimmering Donut. Items include:  Flour  Sugar  Baking powder  Salt  Stardust  Gel food coloring  Edible glitter
  • Flour 2 cups
  • Sugar 1/2 cup
  • Baking powder 2 teaspoons
  • Salt 1/4 teaspoon
  • Stardust A pinch of magic

  • Edible glitter As much as you desire

Take note
Handle edible glitter with care; it's super sparkly and may cause an impromptu galaxy rave in your kitchen. Keep an eye on your donuts while they're in the oven to prevent them from escaping into another dimension.

1

Prepare the donut batter

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and a dash of stardust. Mix well and set aside.

2

Add the cosmic colors

Divide the batter equally into three separate bowls. Use gel food coloring to dye each portion with different celestial hues. Think vibrant shades of deep purple, dazzling blue, and mystical black.

3

Create the galaxy effect

Grease your donut pan and add spoonfuls of each colored batter randomly, creating a cosmic swirl of colors. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the colors together, but don't overmix. We want a mesmerizing galaxy effect, not a blended soup of color!

4

Bake to the stars

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the donut pan in the oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Be careful not to get too lost in stargazing!

5

Let it glimmer

Once baked, let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. While they're still warm, sprinkle them with edible glitter for that shimmering galaxy touch. Voila, your edibles are ready for cosmic consumption!
