💡 Chef tips
- For a fun twist, dip the cooled donuts in melted chocolate or roll them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
- If you don't have a donut maker, you can use a mini muffin tin to create donut holes instead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze them for up to one month.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished mini donuts should be light, golden-brown, and cake-like in texture with a sweet, delicate vanilla aroma.
