Miniature Donuts Recipe


 

I finished making these donuts, took a final photo and walked out of the kitchen leaving the donuts on the counter. When I returned they were gone! It appears we have a mouse! A very well fed mouse. Imagine its delight at finding a mini sized kitchen with cute freshly prepared food. If only I was filming. As cute as it sounds a mouse running free in my kitchen is not hygienic so I have had to set up some traps to deal with that issue. Perhaps I should actually get a tiny pet and let it eat the finished food.

Donut Recipe

Makes 14
4 cups or 640g (22.58 ounces) flour, plain or all purpose
60g (2.12 ounces) or 1/4 cup sugar
14g (0.49 ounces) or two sachets instant dried yeast

Add all the wet ingredients in to the bowl followed by the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until it becomes elastic. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes or a bread machine set to dough. If kneading by hand you will need to keep kneading for about 8 minutes.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and stand in a warm place until it doubles in size. Punch it down, roll out and cut donut shapes. Place onto non-stick baking paper baking paper and allow to rise a second time.

Heat up the oil to 375F (190.56 degrees Celsius) and deep fry your donuts, flipping them over once the underside is golden brown. Watch the full-sized donut video to see what happens if you overheat your oil.

    Hi Anne, I’d not been able to follow ur channel for almost a month now because I was relocating. Just saw your giant m & m video last night and heard about James. U’ve certainly been through so much! And as a mother especially, I know how difficult it must be. I hope James is well now. We continue to pray for him. All the best my dear! God bless u all! 🙂

    • THanks Aliya, James is getting stronger. Thank you for you prayers.

    Hi I love baking and cooking and your channel inspires me to create dessert-themed sewing patterns and drawings to share with my friends and when I am older I wish to visit Australia from Wales to experience different countries for inspirational purposes. However I would not like to find any spiders there as I have major arachnophobia. Also could you make some mini apple crumble please.

    Hello Ann!

    I’m not sure if you’ll check this comment, but I’m in urgent need of help!
    Tomorrow, a guest will be arriving here who’ll be leaving soon for Canada to bring back is wife and a new-born child. So, before he leaves, I want to make something indulgent for him. Also, the dessert will be served AFTER dinner, so his stomach will be a little heavy already. A little help, please? It’d be great if you replied!

    Thank you
