Baked Donuts

Recently got a baked donut recipe from a friend. I just tried it out. Taste is quite different from deepfried donuts though. This is more cake like taste and texture and not bread like. Anyway, my kids like it. Sharing with you what I have done.

BAKED DONUTS

2 tsp confectioners' sugar, divided

Method :

In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Combine the egg, yogurt, oil, lemon juice and vanilla and mix well.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Coat the tube pans with nonstick cooking spray and dust with 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar. Divide batter among pans.
Bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Dust with remaining confectioners' sugar.

  8. Hi Lynnetteqq, I just melt down some different coloured chocolate and use it to coat the donuts. You can also just coat it with sugar too. For the different patterns, I just play around with the different coloured chocolate and sprinkles that I have. You can also pipe some pattern onto the glazed donuts (like the smiley face one).

  9. Bernice, I got the mould from Sun Lik at Seah Street. It cost S$6.80 per tray. The donuts are really mini in size.

    Ching, I have fun coating them but a little messy afterwards, hehe.

  13. Hey Leelee

    did you add some silver luster dust to the pink glaze? its so shiny and pretty!...and are the pink donuts "overfilled" to make then lose their holes? Love it :)

    mmm...donuts ... I could eat a lot of them. They are so delicious yet so sinful.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi amrita, no I did not add silver luster dust to the pink chocolate. I just melt it down and added a little whipping cream. It is actually not overfilled. I chose some donuts that I overpoured the batter and it closed up the hole to do the pink ones.

    Hey, your site is great. I am a fan of baking too. I do a little baking here and there. Been thinking of doing donuts, then my cousin sent me your site. God sent I would say, now I can make those donuts I want.

    So your frosting is just melted chocolate? Wonder if we can use those from phoon huat (block kinds) melt them and use them? Must I add anything else to the melted chocolates?

    Thanks in advance.

  20. hi Lee Lee

    i went sun lik this afternoon & saw the one which u bought for $6.80...its too mini for the rough me to manage.. hehe...

    any idea where else can i get such mould tray? not found in Phoon Huat also. i really wanna try making the donuts....

  21. Hi DMS Amore, yes you can use the block chocolate from PH. No need to add anything, just use the melted down chocolate to coat.

    Hi Yan, I understand from my friend that PH sells the bigger donut moulds but very expensive, abt S$20+. I have not seen it myself so dunno if this info is correct. Maybe you can give PH a call to find out from them. This is PH's website www.phoonhuat.com.sg

  22. Hi LeeLee
    thanks for sharing the info.
    i called PH just now & they say the mould is currently out of stock. no price mentioned to me. will check it again at later date.
    cheers,

  26. Hi Alice, I hope you didn't overmix the mixture. The texture of this baked donuts should be kueh like or cake like.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hi Bee Lay, confecntioner sugar is actually icing sugar.

    Hello!

    Can I ask, whether the yogurt can be replace by milk?

    If its not possible, can u give some possible brand of plain yogurts? Like where can I purchase it? THANKS ALOT! (^.^)v

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi, 1 cup is equal to 250g but if you are measuring dry ingreds like flour, 1 cup is not 250g.

    Hi Violet, replace yoghurt with sour cream but not milk. Any brand of plain or natural yoghurt will do. You should be able to get it at any supermarket.

    Hi, would love to try your donuts but how to make the coating on the donut? I cant find pink colour chocolate. Do we need to add whip cream? Also, any idea how to do normal glaze so that i can sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top? Thank you so much! :)

    Hi Baking Mum

    Wait till my daughters see the colourful donuts! She love donuts but I have to control her lah. So they only have it once in a blue moon.. and imagine how often we get a blue moon? kekekeke

    I suppose baked donuts are definitely healthier than the fried ones though.

    Thanks loads for sharing. Btw, where can I buy the tube pans from and at reasonable cost? Mind recommending pls?

    Thanks.

    Hi Baking Mum, this is sure a cry of relief for eating donuts. I stayed away because of the deep fried process but now I can enjoy donuts again. Thank you so much

  42. hi there~

    can i use a donut cutter instead of donut pan? will dough be too soft?

    Thanks =)

    ReplyDelete
  43. No, I am afraid you cannot use donut cutter. The dough is too soft for cutting. You can only spoon the dough into the donut pan.
