Baked Lemon Glazed Mini Doughnuts
- FOR THE DOUGHNUTS:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/3 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/2 cups Buttermilk
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested, Divided
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Decorative Sprinkles (optional)
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla, egg, melted butter and buttermilk. Zest the entire lemon and add 3/4 of it to the egg mixture. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Spray a mini doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray and fill each cavity about 2/3 full. Note that if you fill them more, the doughnuts will rise above the pan and look more like mini muffins than doughnuts. Bake in a preheated 375u0b0F oven for 10-11 minutes. The doughnuts will not be very brown but they should be springy to the touch. Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before turning them out.
- While they're baking, make the glaze by combining the melted butter, milk, powdered sugar and remaining lemon zest in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. When the doughnuts have cooled, dip each one about halfway into the glaze and place on a rack or plate to set. Sprinkle with baking decorations, if desired.
- Makes 24 mini doughnuts.
