Photos of powdered sugar covered or chocolate dipped rings started showing up on Foodgawker and Tastespotting...the mini doughnut craze was taking over. Little did I know I would be the next victim. They had taken over my thoughts and my cravings. The only way to free myself was to eat them. All of them. So I did. Take that super delicious mini cakes with holes in them! You thought you had me, but I showed you who's boss. I beat you up into a batter, tortured you with a little heat, and drowned you in chocolate ganache! And then, like that wasn't enough...I pelted you with sprinkles. The rainbow kind. I enjoyed that and yes I would do it again. Next time, though you'll be dredged in a tub of cinnamon sugar. Muahaha haha haaaa!

(My mom bought me a mini doughnut maker...don't hate!)
Lightly spray doughnut pan with oil. Pour batter into molds up to 2/3 full.
Bake 10 -12 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool before ganaching (recipe here) and adding sprinkles.
Or, if chocolate and sprinkles aren't your thing then bring on the powdered sugar!

Oh these look so good, I am hoping to get a donut pan soon and will definitely be bookmarking these beauties.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun reading this post. :-)
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was such a thing as a mini doughnut maker--I'd be very afraid to have one in my kitchen--oh, boy. I wouldn't be able to rely on willpower. They look so good, though...
Yikes... I gotta get me one of these awesome doughnut makers! I love your post and as always.. great picture! :)

Great post! I had no idea mini doughnut makers existed... I have a feeling I will be purchasing one soon.

ReplyDeleteLemons, I still can't believe I made top 9! I totally Facebooked about it though, haha.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea mini doughnut makers existed either (I also had no idea I wanted one) until I saw a few of them on sale at Macy's! But I wouldn't recommend them...they cooked unevenly. Maybe the mini doughnut pans would be better as far as them cooking up more evenly.
Debbie, The Housewife, Croquer à Pleines Dents and Jackie: Thanks so much! The doughnut maker wasn't as great as I thought. Mine cooked unevenly as you can see in the photos (some were over cooked others were undercooked).
Linn, thank you for the kind words :) I'm still practicing with photography and photo editing, but it's a lot of fun.
