One Bite Doughnuts

   Hi friends, so, how's summer going in your place?  Telangana is burning like an pre-heated oven.  That said, local newspapers are giving us various tips to stay hydrated.  Obviously, my refrigerator is filled with water bottles and juices.  Still, we can't get hold of that sweet tooth, can we?  :)  That's where these One Bite Doughnuts / Mini Doughnuts comes to the rescue.

    All the craziness started when I first baked these for my daughter's birthday, everyone loved it for its cutey look,  yummy taste and since it is an baked version, it gave an healthy uplift as well.

I made these along with my daughter as an summer project.  She enjoyed colouring the glaze and played with sprinkles.  I would recommend these, as they are not only non-greasy food, but can also tackle sweet carvings on an small portions.  Please do try and let us know.

Preparation time:  15 minutes

Baking time: 8 to 10 minutes, each batch

Yields: 28 Mini- Doughnuts

Source:  Recipe as suggested by Wilton paperback

Ingredients required

• 1 cup + 1 tbspn All purpose flour
• 2 tbspn cornflour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 11/4 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Buttermilk
• 1 Egg
• 11/2 tbspn melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For glaze

• 55 grams of White Chocolate (I used White compound)
• 1 tbspn corn syrup
• 1 tbspn butter
• 1 tsp hot water
• Gel colours (optional)
• Sprinkles

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degree celsius.  Grease the Mini-doughnut pan with butter, I used Wilton brand.  

Add first four ingredients in an bowl, whisk them together.  Make well in the center.

Now add the remaining ingredients like buttermilk, egg, butter and extract.  Mix them using spatula and transfer the batter in an piping bag.

Pipe the batter till they fill only half the cavity of the Wilton pan.  Bake them in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes till the top is firm, leave the doughnuts to cool in the pan for five minutes, later you can tap the pan upside down to release these treats.  Or using fingers, you can peel them away directly.

Alternatively, when they are cooling, you can prepare the glaze.  Take your compound, corn syrup and butter in an bowl and microwave them for few seconds, after that add 1 tsp of hot water and mix well, there you go, our basic glaze is ready.

Take your doughnuts, dump them halway through the glaze and  add sprinkles  rightaway.

I just played along with gel colours, which was on stock and tried different sprinkles,  apart from the mess they made, they look great, dont they?  :)

They make an grand party food, you can try doughnuts with different flavours as well.

Happy Baking guys :)
