BABYCAKES DONUT MAKER RECIPE -- easy, mini baked donuts (2024)

FAQs

How many mini donuts equal a regular donut? ›

About three mini donuts equal the size of one regular donut. Try a Fruity Pebble donut, one filled with Boston cream and another piped with key lime pie filling and topped with a sprinkle of graham cracker crust. You'll be able to finish them all without a stomachache.

50 lbs. of mix will yield up to 460 donuts at 2.5 oz. dough pieces. Donuts are commonly used as a breakfast or snack item.

Underproofed – leads to stiffer (denser) donuts that don't puff up well when fried. Cracked donuts – this may have happened if you used a cutter and it wasn't sharp enough to cut through the dough cleanly. Or the dough is underproofed or too cold.

The donut maker is very simple to use- insert about half a teaspoon of dough on the pan and close the lid. They cooked for about 3 minutes and easily rose and did not burn. I used olive oil after each set of donuts and after two sets, I was flying through my baking!

So all in all, Go Babycakes donut Maker. You make a good doughnut in three to five minutes. (It also comes with a handy dandy prong tool thing and a handy dandy wire rack).

We recommend approximately 4 mini donuts per person, but that may vary depending on your particular event and what other items, if any, you may be serving.

Pipe Batter into the Muffin Pan

Add donut batter to one side of a gallon sized ziplock bag and cut the corner off of the bag. You will use this as a piping bag for the batter. Squeeze batter into muffin cups in a circle around the tin foil. Bake donuts at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until donuts are golden brown.

Instructions. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add buttermilk, egg and butter and stir until just combined. Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray, and fill each donut cup approximately one-half full.

Place doughnut holes and powdered doughnuts on skewers. Arrange doughnut sticks and skewered doughnuts into a bouquet on a sheet of parchment paper, and secure with a rubber band. Insert any remaining festive craft sticks into the bouquet. Transfer arrangement to tissue paper; wrap, and tie with a ribbon.

How many mini donuts is a serving? ›

There's only one way to make doughnuts even softer and fluffier and that is by scalding some of the flour. Scalding is a technique used to not only make bread softer, but also to make it stay soft for longer.

Perfect your technique

Spoon the batter into the lightly greased doughnut pans, filling the wells to about 1/4" shy of the rim. Bake the doughnuts for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and wait 5 to 7 minutes before turning them out of the pans onto a rack.

While all purpose works well for this recipe, I much prefer bread flour because of the extra gluten. More gluten means more of a chew and I love a soft and chewy donut! Both can be substituted one for another in this recipe. If you happen to have bread flour, I'd recommend using that for best results.

Convection Oven : From Thawed at Medium Heat (~350-375°F) for 3-5 minutes. Convection Oven : From Frozen at Medium Heat (~350-375°F) for 7-9 minutes. Fryer (Canola Oil) : From Frozen at 350-375°F) for 1 minute. We do not recommend using microwaves.

Your AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ will release a measured amount of dough from the Dough Dispenser into the hot oil. The donut will be held for seconds in a frying area before advancing to the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism flips the donut over onto the Spatula Fingers.
