  • 5 grams baking powder
  • 1 gram salt
  • 120 ml whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 30 grams unsalted butter (melted)
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 60 grams powdered sugar Optional for glaze
  • 10 ml milk Optional for glaze
  • N/A N/A sprinkles Optional for decorating

Equipment

  • 1 mini donut baking pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 piping bag or zip-top bag optional
  • 1 wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease your mini donut pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for easier filling.
  6. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the mini donuts are golden and spring back when touched.
  8. Cool donuts in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
  10. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and add sprinkles if desired. Allow glaze to set before serving.

Notes

These mini donuts keep best when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can customize the glaze with different flavors or food coloring. Don’t overbake to keep the donuts moist.
