Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Balls

Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Balls

This recipe is a really great way to enjoy the flavour and texture of a doughnut with out all the time consuming cooking.  Using a cake pop maker you will have about 30 of these balls made in around 20 minutes.

These went down a treat with all the family, even hubby who isn’t much of a cake person was digging in.

INGREDIENTS

100gm Butter, softened
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
2 Cups Plain Flour
1 Tsp Bicarbonate Soda
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Cup Milk

Coating

1 Cup Raw Sugar
2 Tsp Cinnamon, ground
100gm Butter, melted

LETS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

  1. Turn the cake pop maker on to heat.  If you don’t have a cake pop maker spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place the softened butter, sugar and egg into a large mixing bowl and mix together well with a spoon.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well to form a smooth batter.
  4. Place spoonfuls of the mix into the cake pop maker and close the lid.  Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until they bounce back with touched.  Repeat with the remaining batter.  If using the mini muffin tray bake in a preheated 180 degree celcius oven for 10-15 minutes or until they bounce back when touched.
  5. Combine the sugar and sugar on flat tray and have the melted butter in a bowl.  Dip the ball into the butter melted quickly (you don’t want it to soak in) then roll in the cinnamon sugar and place onto a plate.  Repeat for the remaining balls.

Makes approx 30

    Ooh thank you! This recipe will allow me my maiden use of a sitting-in-its-box, new and unloved Cake pop machine

    Yummo! Thank you so much, Miss 6 and I just had these for afternoon tea. She is a Coeliac, so being able to make gluten free donuts was a great treat for her. Will certainly be making these again!

    Hi
    In eager to try this recipe!
    Can I exchange the plain flour, baking powder and bicarbonate soda with self raising flour?

    🙂

      Hi, you can substitute the plain flour and baking powder for self raising but you will still need the bicarbonate soda.

      I haven’t tried it as I don’t own one, but it is the same concept so I could see it working.
