Ingredients
For the donut dough:
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup wheat flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
For the cinnamon sugar:
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon sugar
- a pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Optional: sprinkles
Preparation
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter until melted. Avoid overheating.
- Add the other ingredients for the donut dough to the bowl: flour, sugar, milk, egg yolk, vanilla, baking powder and nutmeg. Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Prepare a mini donut mold by applying cooking spray containing flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Fill each hole in the mold with the dough. If you want to make this step easier, you can use a pastry bag to distribute the dough evenly in the mold.
- Place the pan in the microwave and cook for 60 to 90 seconds, or until you notice the donuts starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Important: be careful not to overcook to prevent them from drying out.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a minute before removing from the pan.
- Transfer the donuts to a rack set over a baking sheet. This step makes it easier to handle the donuts when applying the toppings.
- Add the toppings of your choice on the donuts. You can opt for cinnamon sugar, chocolate frosting, or whatever you prefer.
To decorate your donuts:
- Cinnamon Sugar: Mix cinnamon sugar with salt. When the donuts are ready, dip them in melted butter or lightly brush and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar topping.
- Glaze: Mix all glaze ingredients in a small bowl until desired consistency is reached. Add more milk if necessary. Pour over the donuts and let the glaze set. If you add additional sprinkles , place them on the glazed donuts immediately, while the glaze is still cool.
