Making them at home gives you the freedom to create something unique and tailored to your preferences.
What makes these mini snacks even better is how easy they are to prepare. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal equipment, you can whip up a batch in no time. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is designed to be straightforward and mess-free, ensuring a fun and enjoyable cooking experience.
#### **Ingredients**
To make these mini snacks, you’ll need a handful of basic ingredients. Start with all-purpose flour, refined sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt for the dry mix. For the wet ingredients, gather milk, melted butter, a beaten egg, and vanilla extract. If you’re feeling adventurous, add chopped hazelnuts or other nuts for a crunchy texture.
For the glaze, powdered sugar, milk (or water), and vanilla extract are the key components. You can also prepare toppings like melted chocolate, cinnamon sugar, or sprinkles to add extra flavor and visual appeal. These ingredients are easy to find and can be adjusted based on what you have on hand.
#### **Instructions**
Begin by preparing the dough. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your mini snacks.
Next, bake the dough. Preheat your oven to 190°C and grease a mini donut pan or small skillet. Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the snacks to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Finally, prepare the glaze and toppings. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip or drizzle the cooled mini snacks with the glaze, then add your desired toppings while the glaze is still wet. Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
