I thought l'd kick off some healthier eating on my part by baking some doughnuts ;) Well, they aren't fried anyway!
Ingredients
170g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
75g superfine sugar (l used ground up raw sugar)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
65g milk
75g plain yoghurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg and salt together for approx. 25 seconds at speed 6.
Add butter and mix 20 seconds at speed 5-6.
Put in whisk and add milk, yoghurt, vanilla and egg. Whisk for 20 seconds at speed 3 (l scraped down the sides half way through).
Use piping bag or spoon to put mixture into doughnut tray, until about 3/4 full. Bake in oven until golden brown and spring back when touched (around 10 minutes). Let cool slightly, remove from tray and cover with favourite glaze.

Molly - Oh my goodness! Okay. They're NOT fried doughnuts. And I am quite partial to fried doughnuts. BUT!!!!! They are delumptious!!!! The kids are lining up for more.... they're only coated in fine sugar (had to brush with butter to make it stick) and mine have cinnamon as well. Shhhh, don't tell 'em!! Oh, and I didn't have any yogurt, so I used Ricotta cheese. I've converted it to Failsafe diet... and put it on my blog. Smiley Thank you!!!!!
Denzelmum -
Made half in my mini donut maker and half in the oven. We enjoyed the one from mini donut maker without any topping, yum! Don't have donut tray, just used my muffin top pan. Different way to finish and turn out very different. With electric donut maker taste more like donut, nice plain... while with muffin top, well it's more like muffin top. Great option for lunch box.
-
Healthy donuts ;D ;D Do they taste like and stay fresher for longer than normal donuts katesjoy?
-
This was my first attempt at doughnuts - still waiting on how long they stay fresh! :D The couple that are left, have been on the bench for 12 hours now (the nieces haven't been yet!)and are still lovely and soft. They are a tiny bit heavier than bought ones - but with most things Thermie made, I think they taste better. Will make again definitely.
-
Another one I must try. Thanks
-
Oh I have to try this but I haven't got a doughnut tray :'(
Can I just say? I am running out of cupboards space with all these extra trays I'm buying.
-
think there are alot of us in the same boat monica :D
-
i try to skim past some posts and have a voice in my head telling me to ignore the impulse lol
-
think there are alot of us in the same boat monica :D
LOL Yeah thinking about it I can see how that would be so true, I have all my big and many wedding cake tins to deal with as well and resulted to storing those in the loft now. Jeez what s a girl to do?
I dont fancy buying doughnut tins I will just make my doughnuts round and ice them, WHEN I GET TO IT .
-
The problem is, Frozzie, if you skim there is the chance that you will miss something really interesting or tasty. I usually skim as well, but am always afraid I will miss a real gem.
-
lol marina..i dont need to worry too much as most of the deals come from you aussie girls in oz !!! so I cant even get them if i want to...danger poster is our dear Maddy lol....she just puts up some tempting things then I go looking then I have no hope!! For this month Im trying not to look but oh yeah thats nice and next post lol!
-
Yes, Maddy's skills as a shopper and cup cake Queen are a terrible temptation to me as well. I have started closing my eyes and just peering out through a wee slit that I leave open when I see her posts.
-

-
Talking of Maddy - I don't think I've see her around for a few days .... is everything OK?

Glad your back Maddy. Did you mention the M word :o. Oh no. I think my family better move out when I get to that stage. I reckon I would scare myself.
-

totally self diagnosed mind you, but I was warned it could possibly happen early after chemo treatment 12 years ago......symptoms are adding up....but I just can't bring myself to get it confirmed :-X
......must make some doughnuts!!!! :D
-
Atta girl, keep yourself busy. Nice to have you back maddy.
-
you probably should maddy which of course you know :P as I hear these days they have lots of herbal lovely things that made the ride a whole lot easier...probably worth a visit to the doc :)
-
Has anyone seen doughnut trays? I vaguely remember seeing something like it but can't remember where!
-
It didn't happen to be in the Avon Wellbeing catalogue did it IMT? That one is a 12 hole mini-doughnut pan for $14.99 in the latest catalogue.
-
I have seen them in general trader and matchbox as well.
-
There are a few on Ebay, this one is $13.20 + $10 Postage Here (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Donut-Tin-Doughnut-Non-Stick-Pan-Tray-Mould-6-hole-Non-Stick-Cake-d-line-NEW-/170697072100?pt=AU_Cookware_Bakeware&hash=item27be569de4), Or there are also mini ones and heart shaped ones.

I just picked up a 12-hole donut tray at the local Op Shop... for $3. Looks untouched!!
So, of course, I've come to find out how to make them. :D Pass me the cinnamon sugar! I'm going in!!!!!

Probably is Molly - great find.

Oh my goodness!
Okay. They're NOT fried doughnuts. And I am quite partial to fried doughnuts.
BUT!!!!! They are delumptious!!!! The kdis are lining up for more.... they're only coated in fine sugar (had to brush with butter to make it stick) and ine have cinnamon as well. Shhhh, don't tell 'em!! ;D

Oh, and I didn't have any yogurt, so I used Ricotta cheese.
I love that I've come SO FAR that I even thought of trying that and not thinking I needed to go to the shops.
