NUTELLA-GLAZED MINI CINNAMON DONUTS
Even the name looks yummy ...
Ok so, my lovely brother brought me a mini-donuts baking pan from Sweden (I ordered two really cute jars with straws - perfect for smoothies and cocktails ... mmmm gotta try that. Everything is from a shop called Lagerhaus). And of course I had to try it out and bake some mini (actually miniature) donuts. I searched for the recipe on Google and kind of picked the first one I got, but I changed it a little bit (since Christmas is just a few days away). Also, I felt like adding Nutella, so I made a delicious Nutella glaze for them (also from the internet, but modified).
Donuts (around 40 servings):
- 150 g of All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp of Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of Salt
- 110 g of Brown sugar
- 1 tsp of Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of Nutmeg
- 120 ml of Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 20 g of Butter (melted)
- 2-3 drops of Vanilla extract
Pre-heat the oven to 160°C. In one bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and the nutmeg. In the other bowl combine the milk, eggs, melted butter (I melted it in the microwave) and vanilla extract and mix well. Then slowly add the "wet mixture" to the dry one and mix well. Butter up the baking pan (the donuts shouldn't stick than ... well, mine still kind of did) and fill the holes with the mixture - make sure they are only 3/4 full, cause the donuts will gain in size and if they raise up too much, the hole in the middle will disappear. Bake them for 12-15 minutes (use a toothpick to see if they are baked through and through). Wait for them to cool down a little bit.
Nutella glaze:
Nutella glaze:
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) of Powdered sugar
- 1 big spoon of Nutella
- 1-2 spoons of Milk (first add one and if the mixture is too dry add the other one)
- 1 drop of Vanilla extract
Mix all the ingredients well. Dip the upper side of each donut into the glaze, place them on a plate and wait for them to dry a little bit (or not, it depends how strong is your will :P).
And that's it. :)
The donuts were perfect for breakfast. With a cup of coffee and a glass of elderflower yoghurt. Yummmmmmm. :3
Oh, here is a photo of the baking pan.
