Mini Donuts!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! I can't believe it's 2011 now. I hope everyone had a wonderful & safe NYE!! Let's make this year a good one :)

For Christmas this year, my friend Lex gave me this cool Mini Donut Maker!! Since I am sore from snowboarding yesterday, I decided to stay in and try it out. The Recipe was pretty simple and best of all, no frying needed!
I just used the Basic Donut Recipe:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp cooking oil

Stir dry ingredients together. Add egg, vanilla, and milk. Beat with electric mixer. Add oil and beat until well mixed.




Green light means it's preheated and ready to go!

Fill the donut molds! 2-3mins and they're ready to eat!


I also made a simple sugar glaze to coat them in. I got the recipe from Alton Brown.

1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups of confectioners sugar

Mix milk and vanilla in a small saucepan. Heat until warm, then add sifted confectioners sugar. Whisk until combined. Dip donuts into Glaze.
