Ideal Mini Donuts

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 2: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.

Step 3: Fill the Donut Pan

1. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.

Step 4: Bake the Donuts

1. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
2. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Add Toppings

1. While the donuts are still warm, toss them in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Alternatively, you can dip them in a simple glaze or melted chocolate for an extra treat.
