Ingredients
Scale
- 145 g unsalted butter or baking spread
- 145 g caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 175 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 100 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 125 g caster sugar
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (170°C fan).
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the unsalted butter and caster sugar. Cream together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat again.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the whole milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk mixture into the creamed butter and sugar. Beat until smooth. Then add the remaining flour and milk mixtures and beat until fully combined.
- Grease your mini doughnut molds thoroughly. Transfer the batter into a large disposable piping bag and pipe it into the moulds, filling them level or slightly below the middle ring.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes until set and lightly browned. Remove the moulds and invert them onto a tray for two minutes to release the doughnuts.
- While the doughnuts cool, mix the caster sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
- Carefully remove the doughnuts from the moulds and toss each into the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Place them on a tray to cool completely before serving.
