I love doughnuts of any kind, but minis are cuter! So when I discovered this Mini Doughnut Pan at Target I was hooked. Pan is also Available on Amazon. 

 For the Doughnuts:

• 1 1/4 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (plus a few tbsp) milk
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp of melted butter

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425F
Grease the pan (using non-stick spray)

Combine: the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg , and salt

Add the milk, egg, and butter

Mix until all ingredients are incorporated

If the dough is a bit stiff - add milk a tbsp at a time

 * I found the pans much easier to fill with a slightly moister batter

Fill each cup 1/2 full
Bake 4 - 5 minutes
Let cool in the pans

Top with a with cinnamon /sugar mixture

Donut Holes: Recipe
This is a simple delicious recipe and it tastes like a funnel cake!
Take biscuit dough out of the can. Pinch off a small piece of dough and roll into a ball to make donut hole. Do this with the rest of the can. Note, the donuts do expand in the grease, so don’t make them too big! Fill your pot with at least 2 inches of oil. Heat oil until it bubbles when you drop the dough in. Dough will cook quickly so flip dough over as you see it crisping. When your dough is golden brown take out immediately. Have your paper bag with powder sugar ready to go by the oil. As soon as your donuts are taken out of the oil, drop them into the bag and shake. Voila! Beautiful donut holes!
