Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml/6 fl oz) whole milk
- 3 tbsps (45 ml/1.5 fl oz) vegetable oil
- 2 tsps (10 ml/0.33 fl oz) vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 g/2.1 oz) Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- ½ cup (100 g/3.5 oz) Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsps (10 g/0.35 oz) baking powder
- ¼ tsp (1.5 g/0.05 oz) salt
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl, ensuring a uniform, clump-free foundation for the doughnuts.
- Create Wet Base: Whisk egg and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and pale, forming a rich, creamy emulsion that will provide structure and sweetness.
- Combine Liquid Components: Blend milk, oil, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, stirring until the ingredients integrate into a harmonious, silky batter.
- Merge Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring with careful strokes to create a smooth, consistent dough without overmixing.
- Prepare Baking Surface: Thoroughly spray mini doughnut pans with cooking spray or butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Fill and Bake: Carefully pipe or spoon the batter into doughnut cavities, filling each about three-quarters full, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 7-9 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Coat with Sugar: While still warm, transfer doughnuts into a large plastic bag filled with powdered sugar, gently tumbling to create an even, delicate white coating that completely envelops each miniature treat.
- Serve and Enjoy: Present the doughnuts immediately, celebrating their fresh-baked warmth and delightful powdered sugar exterior.
Notes
- Sifting Technique: Carefully sift dry ingredients to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, uniform texture in the batter.
- Batter Consistency: Blend wet and dry ingredients gently to maintain a light, airy texture without overmixing.
- Coating Tip: Dust doughnuts with powdered sugar while still warm for maximum sugar adhesion and a delicate, even coating.
- Storage Recommendation: Enjoy these mini doughnuts immediately after preparation to experience their optimal freshness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
