  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

Make the doughnuts...

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, 2/3 cup of sour cream, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of whole milk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 2/3 cup of brown sugar
  • Place a mesh sifter over the bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of espresso powder, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour into the sifter
  • Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients
  • Mix the ingredients until just combined
  • Grease your doughnut pan
  • Fill each cavity 2/3 of the way
  • Bake the doughnuts for 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your doughnuts) or until they feel springy and set to a light touch
  • Transfer the baked doughnuts onto a cooling rack 

Make the glaze...

  • While the doughnuts are cooling, make the "mummy" glaze by whisking together 1 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of water
  • Add additional water (a few drops at a time) until you develop a thick, but drizzle-able consistency

Decorate...

  • Once the doughnuts have cooled to room temperature, attach the candy eye balls by placing a drop of glaze to the back and pressing them in place
  • Return the doughnuts to the cooling rack and place a piece of wax or parchment under it
  • Drizzle the doughnuts forming their mummy wraps
  • Transfer the decorated doughnuts into the refrigerator until the glaze hardens
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature
