How to Make Mermaid Donuts

May 28, 2017

There’s no need to go “Under the Sea” to find awesome donuts!! Pretend that was funny and clever ? But seriously, these donuts are a beautiful addition to any summer party and they taste as good as they look! Super moist with nice vanilla flavor and tender crumb – enjoy!

Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at at time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add half of dry ingredients to wet and mix to combine. Pour in milk, then continue mixing. Fold in remaining dry ingredients by hand.
  5. Divide batter between three bowls and color as follows: teal, light blue, and purple.
  6. Load batter into a piping bag or Ziploc bag using technique shown in video, or just spoon in the different colors. Pipe batter into donut mold and bake for 15-17 minutes.
Donut Glaze
  1. Mix together powdered sugar and milk until glaze is thick but stir-able. I recommend test-dipping one donut first to see if it drips off the sides too much before dipping all donuts! It can be tricky to judge consistency just by eye.

Instructions
  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry, then mix just to combine. Lumps are fine!
  2. Spray a nonstick pan lightly with cooking spray, then preheat on low heat for 8 minutes. Spray metal cookie cutters/pancake mold generously with cooking spray, then place in pan. Scoop in pancake batter to fill mold until it reaches 1 cm away from top of mold. Add 1 tsp water, then cover and let steam for 15-20 minutes or until center no longer jiggles when pan is shaken. Carefully flip pancakes, then cover again and let steam for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan, let cool slightly, and gently remove from mold! Decorate as desired 🙂
