- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg, sour cream, milk, and vanilla.
- In the centre of the dry ingredients, make a well, then pour in liquid mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Pipe or spoon batter into pans, filling cavities ⅔ to ¾ full.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are barely golden and doughnut springs back when lightly pressed.
- Allow doughnuts to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pans and place on wire rack to cool completely.

Microwave until mixture is mostly melted, remove from microwave and mix to combine and melt the rest of the chocolate.
