Ingredients

• For the doughnuts:

• • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1/2 tablespoon vinegar added)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• For the glaze (optional):

• • • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoons milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:

     • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini doughnut pan with cooking spray or butter.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients:

     • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

  3. Mix the wet ingredients:

     • In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

  4. Combine the mixtures:

     • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. Fill the doughnut pan:

     • Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cavity of the mini doughnut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.

  6. Bake:

     • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the doughnuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool:

     • Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Prepare the glaze (optional):

     • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

  9. Glaze the doughnuts:

     • Once the doughnuts are cool, dip the tops into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.

  10. Serve:

      • Enjoy your mini doughnuts fresh! They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
