National Donut Day: Baked Donut Recipe

Happy National Donut Day my friends! In honor of this delicious day, I brought back an old recipe. I featured this recipe during Eat Pretty because the donuts are baked not fried.

Mini Baked Donuts

• 3/4 cup flour
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup milk {your choice}
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• For Topping:
  • 1 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar + 1/2 tbsp cinnamon (mixed together)

1. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add to the dry mixture and stir till just combined.
3. Spoon batter into a ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Squeeze the batter into a well greased mini donut pan.
4. Bake at 375° for 11-12 minutes. Let cool for a couple minutes, then remove to cooling racks. While still warm, brush all sides of each donut with melted butter, then dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture till well coated.
