Baked Mini Cake Doughnuts with Maple Glaze {Recipe} (2024)

FAQs

Can you bake donuts instead of frying? ›

Spoon the batter into the lightly greased doughnut pans, filling the wells to about 1/4" shy of the rim. Bake the doughnuts for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and wait 5 to 7 minutes before turning them out of the pans onto a rack.

The glaze is pretty simple. Butter, real maple syrup, powdered sugar, and then plenty of vanilla. Not too strong, not too sweet, but just right. Especially when dipped into or drizzled over warm maple doughnuts.

Underproofed – leads to stiffer (denser) donuts that don't puff up well when fried. Cracked donuts – this may have happened if you used a cutter and it wasn't sharp enough to cut through the dough cleanly. Or the dough is underproofed or too cold.

Glaze or fill as follows, and serve as soon as possible. Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. When the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip into the glaze; if you like, flip them so the tops they're completely covered. Put on racks to let the glaze harden.

No, baked donuts do not taste the same as fried donuts. The cooking method affects the texture, flavor, and appearance of the donuts.

Icing is a little thinner than frosting and is often poured or piped over coffee cakes, pound cakes, doughnuts and cookies—and it usually hardens when it dries. Glaze is the thinnest and most fluid of the three, and it will set but won't harden as much as icing.

Filled Long Johns are called filled bars, or filled bar doughnuts. For example, an unfilled (or even custard-filled) Long John with maple-flavored icing is called a maple bar in California. They may also be topped with chopped bacon and called a maple bacon bar.

Simply put, maple cream is natural maple syrup boiled, cooled, and then stirred with no added ingredients. Maple butter is also a product that is created from maple syrup, but it has other ingredients (mainly butter) added into the mix. Generally, maple butter is created using two parts butter and one part maple syrup.

Yeast donuts are essentially the kind that you'd get at a typical donut shop, like Krispy Kreme. They're leavened with yeast and then fried, resulting in a donut that's puffy, airy, and light, and they're usually covered in some kind of glaze.

A batch of original glazed starts with Krispy Kreme doughnut mix, water and yeast, the same single-cell fungi used to make bread rise. The yeast is what makes the original glazed so light -- it puffs the dough up with air, so it's not dense like a cake doughnut (more on this later).

Can you buy donut mixture? ›

A BASE GLAZE is a mixture of these three basic groups: SILICA, FLUX AND ALUMINA.

Glazes need a balance of the 3 main ingredients: Silica, Alumina and Flux. Too much flux causes a glaze to run, and tends to create variable texture on the surface. The texture may vary from shiny, where the glass is balanced, to matte where the excessive flux oxides may form visible, possibly lumpy, crystals.

Glazed doughnuts are light and fluffy with a sweet, shiny coating, while cake doughnuts are more dense and moist with a cake-like texture. Both types of doughnuts are delicious, and their choice often comes down to personal preference.

Yes, if you prefer not to fry, you can also bake donuts in the oven. Simply prepare the dough, shape it into donut rings, and bake them in a preheated oven at around 375°F (190°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes. This method results in a slightly different texture but can still be delicious.

Like most doughnuts, Krispy Kremes are fried (cooked in oil). Frying cooks the dough rapidly from the outside in to give the doughnuts their distinctive crispy texture. The flipper turns the doughnuts over midway through the oil.

Are baked donuts healthier than fried? Yes they are, as there is only a small amount of oil used which is sprayed on the donut pan rather than being deep fried into oil. How long can you store donuts? Store donuts in the fridge for up to 4 - 5 days.

Any kitchen supply company can provide you with a sprayer, which you can fill with cooking oil & pump up. Then simply coat your food with breading & put it onto a non-stick tray, then spray it with olive oil (or other type of cooking oil), and then bake it at 400–425F.
