Do you bake or fry donuts?
Depending on the mini doughnut recipe, you’ll be doing both!
Some donuts are baked while others are fried. You can actually try out both options and then just eat them both!
It all just depends on the texture and ingredients that you’re going to be cooking up.
This also adds to the fun of making donuts. You can save on some extra calories by baking your donuts, but then you’re going to be missing out on the crunch…In my opinion, as long as you’re making and eating donuts, you really can’t go wrong!
For day-old donuts, I’ve found that I like reheating baked donuts just a tad bit better. It’s just my personal preference so you may feel totally different!
What is the best way to soften up day-old donuts?
Heat is the best way to make donuts soft again.
If you’re having trouble with your donuts being stale, just pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
Now mini baked donuts will be nice and soft again!
I’m also a fan of adding some extra toppings of sweetness to the top of day-old donuts. A little bit of extra frosting on top never hurt anyone! (and it makes my tummy super happy!)
Where can I buy a donut maker?
You can find donut machines all over! Most likely, your favorite store has a mini donut pan and even an electric maker or two.
So, how do you decide which makes the most sense to purchase? Well, it depends on your needs! Personally, I love a machine for my kids and a doughnut pan for myself.
The best mini donut maker machine, in my opinion, is the Dash Mini Donut Maker Machine! It makes perfect donuts over and over again! The boys are literally eating them as fast as I can make them. (and I may be eating a few here and there also!)
You can use any type of batter (cake mix, brownie mix, donut batter, etc) to make seven mini sized donuts in mere minutes!
Seriously, the kids can do it!
Plus, it is pretty cheap for a specialty appliance.
