Instructions
For the Donuts
- Step 1: Set your oven to 180 degrees.
- Step 2: Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl.
- Step 3: Combine all wet ingredients in another bowl.
- Step 4: Combine the two by mixing well.
- Step 5: The mix should resemble a cake batter and run off the spoon. (If mix is too thick, simply add an additional egg yolk).
- Step 6: Spoon a Tbsp of mix into mini cupcake silicon cases or into a donut baking tray (if you are lucky enough to have one!).
- Step 7: Bake for 8-10 minutes until the centre is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing from cases and cooling fully on a wire rack. Continue with remaining mix.
- Step 8: To make into donuts use a ‘corer’ to remove the centre, or carefully cut with a knife.
- Step 9: Store in an airtight container until ready to glaze.
For the Glazes
- Step 1: Combine each mix in bowls. The mixes should be reasonably runny so that they coat the back of a spoon.
- Step 2: If too runny they will thicken as they begin to set – place in the fridge for 5 minute intervals to speed this up. If too thick, simply add some additional liquid.
- Step 3: Dip each donut into your glaze of choice top side first. Allow to stop dripping before placing onto a wire rack to begin setting. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
