Method

Prepare the Donut Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Bake the Mini Donuts

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare Donut Pan

    Lightly grease a mini donut pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

  3. 6

    Fill Donut Pan

    Spoon the batter into the mini donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  4. 7

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. 8

    Cool

    Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Finish and Serve

  1. 9

    Dust with Sugar

    While the donuts are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar to coat evenly.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the mini donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
