Make a batch of these English Tea Time Baked Donuts with Cream and Sugar Glaze for a fun tea party treat.  Donuts infused with Bigelow Tea and topped with cream and sugar, of course!

It must be the cool weather.  I have been baking up donuts like they are going out of style.  What better treat is there to enjoy with a mug of tea?

Getting the chance to create a warm and cozy recipe that highlights Bigelow Tea is super exciting!  Not only is it my favorite brand but I love using tea to infuse flavor into desserts.

You may remember my Vanilla Chai Ice Cream.  That is more appropriate for summertime.  These Teatime Baked Donuts are perfect for the chilly winter months.

Fresh baked donuts with a piping hot cup of tea . . . add a comfy couch and fuzzy blanket and there is no need to leave the warmth of home.

While Bigelow Vanilla Chai Tea is still my all time favorite.  I decided to use a traditional flavor for this recipe.  What is more traditional than English Teatime with Cream & Sugar!?!  These prim and proper donuts are perfect for any tea party.

Bigelow Tea is a 3rd generation, family owned American company.  And the quality tea is kept super fresh in the foil pouches!  No stale tea is coming out of these boxes!

And, I was able to get 4 additional tea bags because Bigelow now has Bonus Packs available at Walmart! {while supplies last}

Make a trip to your local Walmart and head straight for the Tea aisle!

These donuts are extra soft and moist.  They have a mild tea flavor that is accentuated when you eat these while drinking a cup of tea.

The glaze is absolutely to die for!  Remember to refrigerate any leftover donuts because the glaze is made with heavy cream.
