Savory Cream Cheese & Herb Donuts

• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter melted
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese melted
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon seasoning Mrs. Dash, blend, or whatever seasoning blend you have and like
• 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
• black pepper to taste
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese
• 6 tablespoons buttermilk

1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease or cooking-spray the donut pan (or muffin tin).
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt/soften 1.5 tbsp butter and 1.5 tbsp cream cheese. No more than about 15 seconds.nnIn a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, spices and seasonings, egg, cheese, and add the melted butter & cream cheese mixture to it all. Stir by hand to combine
3. Then, slowly add the buttermilk. You may need as little as 1/4 c or more like 1/2 c, or even a splash more. The amount of milk needed is going to depend on the type of cheese and cream cheese used. You are looking for a fairly thick batter. Thicker than cake or brownie batter, more like cookie dough consistency.
4. Bake 11 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched or until dough is set. Donuts will not be golden brown, but should be springy. (I always underbake my baked goods but in my oven these took 11-12 minutes to set up)
