So due to our amazing Stay-At-Home orders, we have been doing a lot of cooking at home! I might have had a problem a few years ago where I loved kitchen gadgets! While I have paired down significantly from those "as seen on tv" kitchen gadgets, there was one that had not been tested before Covid-19, and currently comes out twice a week!
We have an electric mini donut maker and the kids are loving it! I make some fun frosting/glaze to go with it and of course we have sprinkles! I love that this recipe makes about 30 donuts, so it last us a few mornings of breakfast and some for snacks.
The donut recipe is taken from the recipe book that I downloaded online because it didn't come with the machine when I bought it at a garage sale for $3.00. Mommy loves a bargain!
Donut Batter:
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp butter, melted
Mix dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients and then mix well. Place in a sandwich sized baggie and cut off a small corner to pipe into the donut maker.
Pipe into donut maker and wait for the light indicator to pop twice (you just want them golden brown). It says to time for 1 1/2 minutes, flip, and then cook for 4 more minutes. I do not flip mine and they always turn out great and it is so much easier!
Frosting (no recipe, just wing it!)
Powder Sugar
Cocoa powder
milk
I put a few tablespoons of powder sugar, add a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder, and then milk to the desired consistency.
