Baked Donuts
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a breakfast of mini donuts? The best thing is there’s no frying involved, just bake them in the oven and decorate as you wish. Donuts at home, it’s like a dream come true!
You can also go all out and use mini donuts as toppers for Coffee and Donut Cupcakes…or just take it easy. One donut at a time.
Baked Donuts
Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (more as needed)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a donut pan by greasing it with butter. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Add the eggs. Stir in the buttermilk, or more as needed. Stir batter until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepped pan approx 2/3 full.
Bake for 12 minutes, let cool on a wire rack.
Decorate as desired.
yeeee haaaw!
i love the IDEA of my donut press, but i’ve tried:
1: the recipe that came with it
2: a recipe from williamsonoma.com
3: my tried and true cake recipe
and all of them have been extra GROSS.
i am ALL OVER THIS.
O.M.Golly — I have the original donut maker that my Grandparents bought over 30 years ago — and it’s just like yours. I usually use Jiffy cake mixes, but your recipe HAS to be much better. I can’t wait to dig that little gem out. The kids can’t decide if I’m a genius (I own a donut maker!) or if I’m just a little left of center (they’re teens after all).
OMG I am going to buy me a donut maker. I love donuts and those donuts look easy enough to make
yeah! I got a donut maker thing for Christmas and we’ve made them 2x… not impressed with the way they turned out- can’t wait to try your recipe though!
So do you like the donut maker? I was eyeing the one they sold at Williams Sonoma for a while, but it was $$ and then they stopped selling it. 🙁 We LOVE donuts around here, so this may be a worthwhile investment if it works well!
I’ve tried this combination before too…it’s always great when you have a huge sweet tooth 🙂
I love the DONUT MAKER
! It’s like a waffler so it’s easy to use!
I have an old donut maker that my Mom had. It’s red and white and has a plunger in the middle. The plunger is depressed and the batter comes out, dropped in the hot oil and you have a perfect donut. However I lost the box that the donut maker came in and so I don’t have the vanilla donut receipe that was on the back. Do you or your followers have that receipe. It was my very favorite receipe of all times.
