In the third episode of With Love, Meghan on Netflix, Meghan Markle brings a warm, nostalgic touch to the kitchen with her recipe for glazed baked donuts. Set against a backdrop of gentle music, relaxed conversation, and beautifully styled countertops, Meghan shares a recipe that feels both effortlessly elegant and comfortingly simple. She reflects on the joy of baking as a way to connect with loved ones and create moments of calm, saying, “There’s something special about slowing down and making something sweet—literally and figuratively.” These donuts are a perfect example: soft, delicately sweet, and finished with a whimsical glaze that makes them feel almost too pretty to eat.

Meghan walks viewers through the recipe with her signature warmth and clarity. She begins by mixing together pantry staples (flour, sugar, baking powder) then adds in a smooth blend of buttermilk, vanilla, egg, and melted butter. Using a piping bag, she neatly fills a donut pan and bakes them until just golden. Once cooled, each donut is dipped in a silky glaze made from icing sugar and buttermilk. To finish, she delicately presses dried edible flowers on top, giving them a floral, Instagram-worthy flair. As she says with a smile, “It’s about the little details.” Of course, viewers are encouraged to make it their own, think colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crushed pistachios for a personal twist.

Ingredients (makes 6)

1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons (30ml) melted butter

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

Icing Glaze

2 tablespoons buttermilk

1 cup icing sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 350F (175C).

In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder.

In a separate bowl whisk the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract and melted butter together until smooth.

Mix the wet ingredients mix into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined.

Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag and pipe the mix into the donut pan evenly, filling each one up to about 3/4 full.

Bake for 10 minutes until the donuts are very lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean.

To make the glaze, mix the buttermilk and icing sugar together until a smooth paste forms.

Dunk the top of the donuts into the glaze and place on a tray.

While the glaze is still wet, top with dried edible flowers.

Note: Meghan tops with edible dried flowers, but you could add sprinkles or choc chips or anything else that you prefer. Enjoy!
