By mamapig

- 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 lg eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate mini chips (first choice) or semisweet chocolate chips, optional
- Use the smaller amount of nutmeg for the coconut or chocolate chip doughnuts; the larger amount for the cinnamon doughnuts..
- topping
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut*
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup cinnamon-sugar or about 1/2 cup non-melting white sugar, for coating
- Can you use plain instead of toasted coconut? Not really; it browns unevenly, and doesn't produce as good a result.
- tips from our bakers
- Why use non-melting white sugar instead of confectioners' sugar? Confectioners' sugar will melt and disappear; non-melting white sugar will keep the doughnuts nice and white.
