Hi all, I have just aquired a "Prima" mini doughnut maker minus the recipe booklet. It makes 6 mini ring doughnuts at a time. Does anyone out there have a suitable recipe for the mix. I presume a small amount of veg oil would be placed in each ring before putting in the mix. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Kids are waiting patiently!!
Thanks.
Richard.
Got this from William Sonoma long time ago... they're good. Enjoy!
Recipe: Mini doughnuts
Ingredients:
For the doughnuts:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* 1 tsp. salt
* 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus 3 Tbs. melted butter
* 2 cups sugar
* 3 eggs
* 2 tsp. vanilla extract
* 1 cup buttermilk
*
For the ganache:
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 6 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
* 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
* Sprinkles for decorating
Directions:
Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
To make the doughnuts, in a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the 16 Tbs. butter on high speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
Preheat a mini doughnut maker according to the manufacturers instructions. Brush the wells with melted butter. Fill each well with about 1 1/2 Tbs. batter. Close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. Using a wooden skewer or small tongs, remove the doughnuts from the machine and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To make the ganache, in a double boiler over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil. Add the chocolate and butter and whisk vigorously until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let the ganache cool for 5 minutes.
Holding a doughnut with your fingers, dip one side of the doughnut halfway into the ganache and then into the sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts. Let the ganache cool before serving. Makes about 35 mini doughnuts.
