Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup 2% milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup AP flour, all purpose
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon salt

Vanilla Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon 2% milk

Equipment

  • baking tray
  • mini donut tray
  • piping bag
  • 3 mixing bowls

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • GENTLY spray your mini donut tray with baking spray. A light coating goes a long way. Set aside.
  • Grab two mixing bowls.
  • Add the cane sugar and vanilla flavor to one bowl. Whisk together.
  • In that same bowl, add the room temperature unsalted butter and cream it together with the sugar.
  • Next, add the egg and the milk. Whisk well.
  • In the second bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until your batter forms.
  • Next, you’ll pour the batter into a piping bag.
  • Gently squeeze the batter into the mini donut tray.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. I was able to get two batches of 12 mini donuts.
  • Prepare the vanilla glaze while the first batch of mini donuts are baking.
  • In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Whisk until the glaze forms.
  • Once the donuts are cool, gently dip them (face down) into the batter. You will not fully submerge them, just a light dip that covers half of the donut. Top with a few sprinkles and set aside.
  • Repeat this process until all of the mini donuts are glazed and sprinkled.
  • Serve and enjoy!
