MINI-DOUGHNUTS

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 24 minis

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, plus more for deep frying
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup canned evaporated milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch ground mace
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar, or 3/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or sifted confectioners' sugar
Raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Melt the 2 tablespoons shortening in a small saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly but remain liquid.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and melted shortening together on medium speed. Add the egg and beat well. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla, continue beating until the mixture is light, about 2 minutes.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, mace, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture on low speed until just combined. The texture of the dough will be soft and loose. Turn dough out of the bowl onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it well. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Roll the chilled dough out on a very lightly dusted workspace until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Dip the edges of a 2-inch round cutter in flour and cut the dough into discs. Place cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Heat about 2-inches of shortening in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels.
  • Working in batches, fry the doughnuts, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon or skimmer to the prepared pan. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough, taking care the oil comes back to the correct temperature between each batch.
  • For jelly filled doughnuts: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip with raspberry jam. Let the donut cool slightly. Make a small opening with the pastry tip and gently fill each donut with some of the jam. Dust with sugar as desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • For sugared doughnuts, roll the doughnuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. For confectioners' sugared covered doughnuts allow the doughnuts to cool completely before rolling in the confectioners' sugar.

Tips for Making Perfect Mini Drop Donuts:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give your donuts the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the donuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 10-15 minutes will help it develop flavor and rise.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown too quickly and be undercooked inside. If the oil is too cold, the donuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • Drop the batter into the oil carefully: Use a spoon or a piping bag to carefully drop the batter into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the donuts will stick together.
  • Cook the donuts until they are golden brown: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the donuts on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
  • Coating the donuts: While the donuts are still warm, roll them in your favorite coating, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or glaze.

Conclusion:

Mini drop donuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious donuts at home. So next time you're craving a sweet snack, give these mini drop donuts a try!
