Calories 91kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking spice recipe below
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter divided
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup each flavored sugars for rolling (recipes above)
Baking Spice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon mace
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) degrees. Lightly grease 24 mini-muffin cups.
- Make baking spice. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well. (Makes ¾ teaspoon)
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and baking spice.
- In another medium bowl, combine sugar and ¼ cup melted butter. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup ½-full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are lightly golden.
- Remove muffin tins from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes before removing the doughnuts from their cups. Let cool entirely on a wire rack.
- Pour each flavored sugar into a plastic zip-lock bag. Melt ¼ cup butter. Dip each doughnut in the melted butter, then place in the bag. Shake the bag to coat the doughnuts in the sugar. (I found that doing just a few at a time works the best. Alternatively, you can leave the flavored sugars in their bowls, and hand-roll each doughnut in the sugar.) For powdered sugar, do not dip in butter.
