How to make Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donut

You want to mix together your sugars topping in either a brown paper bag, to shake your donuts, or into a shallow dish so you can plop them nice and hot into the sugar so that it melts, and sticks to your donut.

Start with your dry ingredients in your bowl. Give it a little stir to mix it together. Mix in your wet ingredients.

Plug in your mini donut maker, to get it preheated. Make sure that you use non-stick spray to prevent your mini donuts from sticking. Our Bella Mini Donut maker is a little rough around it’s finish but it is well used now, and no longer sitting around collecting dust.

I pour my cinnamon sugar mini donut batter into a Ziploc bag to pipe it into my mini donut maker without making a mess. I have shared exactly how I make mini donuts no matter what flavor you make.

As soon as you take your mini donuts out of the molds, place them right onto your sugar, and press them in slightly. Don’t press too hard so you don’t flatten them.

Or shake them in a paper bag. This was it and miss for me.

I am not high take when it comes making anything. The reason we have a mini donut maker in the first place is probably because I bought it impulsively.

Other than my donut maker, I don’t get fancy when I make my mini donuts but I know it could be easier if I had one of those donut making mold fillers. It could simplify filling the molds, versus using a piping bag, or like I do, using a Ziploc bag and a mug.

Making a Piping Bag to Make Mini Donuts

I make a piping bag out of a Ziploc bag. Put the corner of the bag into a large mug, fold the open bag open over the mug. I pour or scrape my mini donut batter into the Ziploc bag.

You can seal the bag but you don’t have to, but make sure to squeeze the air out of the top of the bag. Twist the bag above the batter.

Snip the corner off. Not too big, or you’ll have too much batter into your mold, too small, and you risk popping your bag. I have finally managed to find find the perfect size.

How to Make Donuts in Donut Maker

Preheat your donut maker. Each donut maker is going to be different. Read your instructions to see how exactly your appliance works.

Now that you have your mini donut recipe batter ready to go you can make mini donuts.

Make sure to a non-stick spray before you fill your molds.

I pipe my batter into my preheated donut maker molds. This allows me to easily fill the molds with my batter without overfilling and making a mess and to make sure they are completely filled.

Mine has two little lights on the top. Orange and green. When I plug my appliance in the orange light comes on. It turns green when it is preheated. When I fill and then close my mini donut maker the orange light is the only one on. The green light will come on when my mini donuts are ready to be removed.
