DOUGHNUT MACHINE MINIS
This is a batter recipe I found to use with an electric mini doughnut machine I have (a bit like a sandwich toaster but with seven rings to take a spoonful of batter each) - when I couldn't find the instruction leaflet with the recipe in it. After cooling slightly on a rack, I warm a spoonful of apricot jam with a splash of water and brush on lightly before dipping in hundreds and thousands or chocolate flakes. This quantity makes about 20, easiliy doubled if you are catering for a children's party or such.

Steps:
- Melt the 2 tablespoons shortening in a small saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly but remain liquid.
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and melted shortening together on medium speed. Add the egg and beat well. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla, continue beating until the mixture is light, about 2 minutes.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, mace, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture on low speed until just combined. The texture of the dough will be soft and loose. Turn dough out of the bowl onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it well. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Roll the chilled dough out on a very lightly dusted workspace until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Dip the edges of a 2-inch round cutter in flour and cut the dough into discs. Place cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Heat about 2-inches of shortening in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels.
- Working in batches, fry the doughnuts, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon or skimmer to the prepared pan. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough, taking care the oil comes back to the correct temperature between each batch.
- For jelly filled doughnuts: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip with raspberry jam. Let the donut cool slightly. Make a small opening with the pastry tip and gently fill each donut with some of the jam. Dust with sugar as desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- For sugared doughnuts, roll the doughnuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. For confectioners' sugared covered doughnuts allow the doughnuts to cool completely before rolling in the confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Mix together well.
- I always pour my batter into a ziploc bag. Place a bottom corner in a large mug.
- Cut off corner of bag. It is a thick batter so take that into consideration when you cut off the corner.
- Fill each donut hole and cook according to the directions of your donut maker.

Tips:
- Use the right oil: Canola, vegetable, and peanut oil are all good choices for frying mini donuts, as they have a high smoke point and won't burn easily.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for frying mini donuts is 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oil is too hot, the donuts will cook too quickly and burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. If the oil is too cool, the donuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the fryer: When frying mini donuts, it's important to not overcrowd the fryer, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the donuts to cook unevenly. Fry the donuts in small batches, leaving enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Flip the donuts halfway through cooking: To ensure that the donuts cook evenly, flip them halfway through the cooking process. This will help them to brown evenly on both sides.
- Drain the donuts on paper towels: After frying, drain the donuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil. This will help them to become crispy and prevent them from becoming greasy.
Conclusion:
Making mini donuts at home is a fun and easy process that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With the right equipment and ingredients, you can create delicious, homemade mini donuts that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're having a party, a family gathering, or just a quiet night at home, mini donuts are a surefire hit that everyone will love.
