DONUT RECIPE
Makes about 15 mini donuts
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- For an easy substitute, mix together 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar, then let stand for 5 minutes.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Directions
- Preheat your electric donut maker. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a mini donut pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse sand (about 4 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
- Spoon the donut batter into the preheated donut maker and cook for about 3 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Alternatively, if baking in the oven, spoon the donut batter into the mini donut pan and bake for about 8 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (the baking time will largely depend on the size of your mini donut pan).
- Carefully remove the donuts from the donut maker/donut pan and let cool completely.
GLAZE RECIPE
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
