Mini Donuts from a Cake Pop Maker

Happy New Year Everyone! Now that we have started a new year this means it is time for me to start a new blog. This year I am making it my new years resolution to post on my blog at least a few times a week but sometimes that can become hard with working and going to school. 

Today on the blog I am going to be sharing with you guys my recipe for mini donuts. Who doesn't love donuts on a Sunday morning with a nice cup of coffee? Everyone loves donuts but these don't require you to leave your house and can be made with common ingredients found in the house. I will also be showing you how to make a super delicious glaze that isn't tooth breaking sweet.

Donut Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cups of All-Puropse Flour
• 1/3 cups of Sugar
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cups of Milk
• 1/4 cups of Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 cup of Sour Cream
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

How to make the Donuts:

First in your mixer you’re going to want to add your wet ingredients which would be your egg, milk, vegetable oil, sour cream, and your vanilla extract then you’re going to want to give this a mix either using your hand mixer, stand mixer, or you could even do this by hand. Once all of those are combined you’re going to add your sugar and give it another mix until combined. Then you will add all of your dry ingredients which would be the flour, baking powder, and salt. Allow this to mix for about 3 minutes until the batter gets thick, it will kind of resemble a bread dough. 

Now that we have our donut dough we are going to begin baking these delicious mini donuts. First we are going to want to plug our cake pop maker in and allow it to heat up, it will let you know when it is heated up by the green light turning on. Once the cake pop maker is heated up we are going to add about 1/2 tablespoon of our batter to each hole. We are going to close the lid and let it sit for roughly 4-5 minutes they will turn into a beautiful golden brown. Take them out once they’re done and then continue to cook the rest of the batter.

Donut Glaze Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of Melted Butter
• 1 1/3 cups of Powered Sugar
• 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Hot Water

How to make the Donut Glaze:

First you’re going to want to melt your butter then to our butter we are going to mix in by hand our vanilla extract. Once those two are combined we are going to add in all of our powered sugar by hand, this will create a thick and  unsmooth mixture. Then to this we are going to add in a tablespoon of hot water and we are going to continue to mix this together until it becomes very smooth.

Then I took my donuts and placed them all in a gallon sized zip lock baggie and then drizzled all of the glaze over top of them. I then locked the bag and gave them a good shake. This is such a simple way to glaze your donuts without getting the glaze all over your hands. 

Just like that we have a very simple delicious Sunday morning breakfast to share with your family. It was always a big deal when my Dad would go out and buy us donuts for breakfast but now he doesn’t have to leave the house and we can them together. If you love donuts as much as I do then give this blog post a like, share, and follow.
