These doughnuts are sooooooo tasty, you'll want just one more.
Finding a good baked doughnuts recipe has taken me ages.
My first attempts I made in muffin tins ( nicknamed muffnuts ) although tasty these were quite big, in a lightbulb moment I wondered how they would turn out in my cake pop mould.
Being very impatient I tried to remove my first batch without letting them cool properly and I was left with twice as many half moon doughnuts, undeterered my second batch I left to cool for about 30 minutes in the mould and they all popped out perfectly.
70g Butter
200g Caster Sugar
1 Egg
200g Plain Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
125ml Milk
100g Sugar
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (for coating)
I'm a massive fan of Mary Berry's all in recipes. So I put everything in the mixer and beat it for a few minutes until I'm happy with the consistency (doughnut mixture should be a little thicker than a cake mix).
Melt some butter (I do a small amount in a cup in the microwave) and using a pastry brush coat your cake pop mould on both sides. Be generous, you don't want them getting stuck.
Fill half the mould with your mixture, pop the top of your mould on and bake in the oven on a baking tray at 190 for 20 minutes. Then leave to cool in the mould for a further 30 minutes.
Once out of the moulds. Melt some butter in a bowl. Mix your sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Then you coat your doughnuts in butter, then coat straight away in the sugar mixture.
Then the waiting is over and the eating can begin.
If your not a fan of cinnamon, simply leave it out of the mixture and you could dip half your doughnut in melted chocolate. Equally scrummy.
