Baked Donuts

By | | , , , , , , ,

I was inspired by the Baked Doughnuts recipe on Real Meals to give them a go myself; I’d always assumed there was something difficult about them, but these looked easy.  It took me ages to find a doughnut tray, in fact I couldn’t find one at all, but I did come across a mini bundt tray with 12 molds about the size of a donut.  So I bought it, took it home and made these great donuts.  I had to translate the Thermomix recipe into “normal” cooking, but it was still pretty easy.  The glaze recipe came from this one from La Mia Vita Dolce.

 

Oscar gave me a hand making the donuts and we all got into the decorating.

Note

Low Chemical / Failsafe, High Salicylates, Very High Amines

The donuts are low chemical as is the vanilla glaze, carob glaze and sugar coating.  Naturally coloured 100s and 1000s and Sprinkles contain high salicylates.  The chocolate glaze contains very high Amines.
