Perfectly Mini Doughnuts

Here’s a Perfectly Mini Doughnuts recipe — light, fluffy, and just the right size for a sweet treat. You can make them using a mini doughnut pan (baked) or fry them for a more classic texture.

🍩 Perfectly Mini Doughnuts (Baked Version)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

• 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, melted

• Optional: 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (for classic flavor)

Toppings (Choose Your Favorite):

• Cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup sugar + 1 tbsp cinnamon)

• Powdered sugar

• Chocolate glaze (1/2 cup chocolate chips + 1 tbsp butter)

• Vanilla glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1 tbsp milk + splash of vanilla)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini doughnut pan.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg (if using).

3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix just until smooth (don’t overmix).

5. Spoon batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip off the tip and pipe into each doughnut cavity, filling about 2/3 full.

6. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until tops spring back lightly when touched.

7. Let cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

8. While warm, dip doughnuts in your desired topping (e.g., toss in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with glaze).

🍩 Mini Doughnuts (Fried Version)

Use the same batter but add:

• Increase flour to 1 1/4 cups for slightly thicker consistency.

Instructions for Frying:

1. Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

2. Scoop 1–2 tsp dollops of batter into the hot oil (or use a piping bag).

3. Fry until golden, about 1–2 minutes per side.

4. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5. Toss in cinnamon sugar or glaze.
