To make these mini donuts, all you need is the dash doughnut maker and a few easy steps. These donuts are the perfect addition to your breakfast table or shower menu!
They’re also a great treat to bring to kids’ parties. Plus, they’re safe for everyone in the family to use.
Preparation
The Dash donut maker is a compact appliance that saves valuable space in small kitchens while producing light, fluffy, and tasty treats that are fun to make and easy to clean. It encapsulates the latest technology and features a PTFE nonstick finish for fast release and clean up, a simple design that won’t be a pain to use, and an impressive slew of functions.
The recipe is a cinch to whip up, as long as you’re not too intimidated by the idea of mixing oil and sugar with eggs, milk, and a dash of vanilla extract. You can also tweak the ingredients by replacing the vanilla with apple extract or swapping cinnamon for a dash of pumpkin spice.
To make the most successful donuts, you’ll need a nonstick donut pan, a hefty pinch of baking soda, a splash of vinegar or lemon juice, and of course, a dash of creativity. Aside from the standard batter, you can also add chopped or crushed chocolate bars, fresh fruit, and even nuts or dehydrated fruit for a deliciously sweet treat that’s sure to please. You’ll also want to measure out the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar properly – as well as the emulsifier that’s got the gizmo – before you start.
Mixing
When mixing the cake mix for these donuts, it’s important to mix well and make sure the mixture isn’t too dry. This will help ensure that the donuts are fluffy and light.
To get started, place your cake mix, egg, oil, and milk into a large mixing bowl. Then, using a hand or electric mixer, mix the ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
Once the batter is mixed, transfer it to a large piping bag or a gallon Ziploc bag with one corner cut off (photo 2). Snip off the tip and pipe the donut mix into each donut pan cavity about 3/4 of the way full. This will give you a nice donut shape when baking them.
After they are baked, let them cool in the donut pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once they are completely cooled, make your glaze.
These donuts can be made with any type of cake mix. Try funfetti, lemon, chocolate, birthday cake, or even strawberry!
You can also decorate them with sprinkles and candy eyes if you want to make them more festive. These donuts are perfect for any holiday or occasion!
Once the donuts are finished baking, allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container for up to 48 hours. If they start to harden, just microwave them for a few seconds to soften them back up. Alternatively, you can store them in the refrigerator for a few days or even freeze them for up to 2 months.
Baking
The dash donut recipe uses oil instead of butter, which helps the donuts stay moist and fluffy for up to two days. These donuts are great to keep on hand for breakfast, snacks or as a quick dessert.
These donuts can be glazed or rolled in cinnamon-sugar for a simple and easy finish. You can also add sprinkles of any color or flavor to give them a fun and festive look.
A dash donut is an all-time favorite treat, and you can make them yourself with this recipe! They are perfect for parties and gatherings, and they can be made in a variety of shapes.
When baking donuts, it’s important to follow a few simple steps to ensure they turn out correctly. You should always prepare the ingredients properly, use proper measurements, and have all of your tools ready before you start baking.
First, you should measure the flour and cocoa powder. These must be measured using the scoop and level method or a kitchen scale to ensure accuracy. You should also make sure the oil, milk and sugar are properly mixed before you begin baking.
Next, you should add the ingredients to the bowl of your mixer and mix until well combined. It’s best to use an electric mixer for this step, but you can also use a handheld one if necessary.
Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, you should add the egg and vanilla extract to it. You can also add the milk gradually, mixing until the dough is smooth and light.
Finally, you should pour the batter into a large piping bag fitted with a medium round tip (you can also use a gallon plastic bag cut off one corner). Pipe the batter into the greased mini donut pans, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake for 7 – 9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
After the donuts have cooled, you can top them with powdered sugar or granulated sugar for a nice crunchy finish. You can also use a chocolate glaze or chocolate icing for the final touch. You can even decorate them with finely chopped nuts, flaked coconut or candy sprinkles.
Glazing
Glazing is a process that can be used to add extra texture, flavor, or even to change the appearance of the food you’re glazing. It is also a fun way to get the kids involved in the kitchen.
Glazes are made with different ingredients that work together to create a unique end product. They can be applied to a wide variety of foods, from vegetables to meats and cheeses. It is important to understand how glazes work so you can create the perfect one for your food!
The three main ingredients in a glaze are silica, alumina, and flux. The balance of each of these components is crucial to ensure that your glaze doesn’t become too brittle or cause problems. The chemistry behind the different ingredients can be a little complicated, but understanding the basics will help you create your own glazes and prevent the problem of having too much of any ingredient in your glaze.
When it comes to making your own glazes, it is a good idea to be careful and make sure you use a safe and well-ventilated area to mix the ingredients. This can include using a respirator or mask if you have allergies or asthma.
It is a good idea to wear gloves when working with a glaze. This will help prevent the dust from causing respiratory issues for you or your loved ones.
If you’re not sure how to make a glaze, there are plenty of tutorials online that will show you how to do it. It’s also a good idea to test the consistency of your glaze before you dip any food in it. This will ensure that the glaze is smooth and does not leave any streaks on your food.
This is a quick and easy way to coat your donuts before baking. It’s a great way to make your donuts look more appealing and give them extra shine.
Once your donuts are baked, you can enjoy them right away or store them in the freezer for a few days. Just be sure to let them cool completely before transferring them to the freezer.
