Mini Dounuts

Mini Dounuts maker in the stores are inexpensive. Its a good idea to encourage kids to make dounuts at home when they said" Mum. I am bored!". It works a magic to keep their little minds occupied for a while and it is also very creative for them too.

When the dounuts just came out of the maker, it looks like this. It havent have those deep fried dounut look and tastes much less greasier too.

At this stage, I normally dig in my baking ingredients and sourcing out all the bits and bobs which I can provide for them to decorate the dounuts. I will also make up some butter cream for them to spread on the dounuts before decorating.

This is done by Nicole and Noni, my newphew's girlfriend. They had a fun time putting all the colorful coated chocolate drops and hundreds and thousands on. A bit of a mess but it is so worth the trouble.

Ingredients

75 g Plain flour

50 g Sugar

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

75 ml Fresh milk

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

Preheat the dounut maker. Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl. When maker is ready, fill the dounut mould half way to the top. Close the lid and allow to bake for 5 minutes or until desired color formed. Remove and set aside until cool before spreading any butter cream for decoration. For dusting, put dounuts in a bowl of caster sugar immediately after removing from maker. Dust them well and removed to cool. serve.

Note: If children are involved, do take care when dealing with dounut maker, as it can get rather hot
