24 mini donuts

These little gems are hard to resist warm from the oven and they’re even better tossed with spiced sugar or dusted with cocoa powder.

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp Sea Salt, finely ground
  • 1⁄2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1⁄3 cup low-fat milk, divided
  • vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 1 cup sugar or icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon , or your favourite Epicure spice blend

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F (205° C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a second bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in vanilla extract and egg.
  4. Alternating between dry ingredients and milk, mix together until just combined.
  5. Place Mini Donut Mold on Sheet Pan. Using a basting brush, lightly brush with oil.
  6. Fill each mold 2⁄3 full.
  7. Bake 12–15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes clean.
  8. When cool to the touch, flip Mini Donut Mold onto Sheet Pan and twist to pop out donuts. If using icing sugar for topping, let cool completely before topping.
  9. In a small bowl or paper bag, combine sugar and Cinnamon. Gently toss donuts in topping, shaking off excess. Enjoy!
