Mini Cake Doughnuts Recipes

CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). On a floured board, roll chilled dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes from center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.
• Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in a large resealable bag. Place a few warm donuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat.

BAKED MINI DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease miniature muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Beat butter and 1/3 cup white sugar together in a third bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in egg.
• Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk mixture, into butter mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into a piping bag and pipe into muffin cups, about 2/3-full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Mix 1/3 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; add warm doughnuts and gently toss with hands until coated.

MINI CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a mini doughnut pan.
• Sift the white spelt, rye, barley, and baking powder together. Whisk in the sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and egg. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix or your doughnuts may be rubbery.
• Fill each doughnut cup 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full with the batter. You can do this with a spoon, but I prefer using a piping bag to fill each cup evenly and cleanly. It's important not to overfill or as the doughnuts rise, you'll lose the hole. Bake until the doughnuts spring back when touched, 6 to 10 minutes depending on the size of your doughnut pan. Let cool completely on a wire rack; then dip in melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar.

MINI-DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Melt the 2 tablespoons shortening in a small saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly but remain liquid.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and melted shortening together on medium speed. Add the egg and beat well. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla, continue beating until the mixture is light, about 2 minutes.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, mace, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture on low speed until just combined. The texture of the dough will be soft and loose. Turn dough out of the bowl onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it well. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Roll the chilled dough out on a very lightly dusted workspace until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Dip the edges of a 2-inch round cutter in flour and cut the dough into discs. Place cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Heat about 2-inches of shortening in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels.
• Working in batches, fry the doughnuts, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon or skimmer to the prepared pan. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough, taking care the oil comes back to the correct temperature between each batch.
• For jelly filled doughnuts: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip with raspberry jam. Let the donut cool slightly. Make a small opening with the pastry tip and gently fill each donut with some of the jam. Dust with sugar as desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• For sugared doughnuts, roll the doughnuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. For confectioners' sugared covered doughnuts allow the doughnuts to cool completely before rolling in the confectioners' sugar.

MINI DONUT CEREAL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, egg, oil, and water until well combined w. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag fitted with a small round tip.
• Pipe the batter into 1-inch donut shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about ½ inch apart. Dip a finger in water and smooth the tops of the donuts as needed.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the donuts are cooked through and lighten golden brown. Let cool completely on the pans. Poke a straw through any centers that may have closed during baking, then transfer to wire racks.
• Make the glaze: Sift the powdered sugar and meringue powder into a large bowl. Whisk in the water and food coloring until the glaze is smooth. Add more water as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glazes reaches your desired consistency.
• Spoon the glaze over a few donuts, then top with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet. Repeat with the remaining donuts. Let the glaze dry for 1 hour before serving.
• Divide the donut cereal between bowls and pour milk over. Serve immediately.
