Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg and sugar. Then add milk, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined. Gently stir in the flour mixture, stirring until there are no lumps.

Step 5
Place wax paper under a wire rack to collect any drippings for an easy cleanup. Then, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add milk, corn syrup, and chopped chocolate, stirring slowly to allow chocolate to melt completely.
Step 6
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar. Immediately dip the top of each donut into the icing and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 7
In a stand mixer, whip cream until peaks are just starting to form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a pip- ing bag, and pipe onto the tops of the cooled chocolate layer.
Step 8
Sprinkle the top of each donut with chopped peppermints and serve immediately. These donuts do not store well and so should be eaten fresh.
