Essential Ingredients
For the Donut Batter:
- 140 g all-purpose flour (farina 00)
- 20 g potato starch
- 2 eggs
- 80 g sugar
- 50 ml vegetable oil (such as seed oil)
- 40 ml milk
- ½ sachet of baking powder (around 5-6 g)
- Cinnamon, to taste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 80 g chocolate chips
For the Frosting:
- Milk chocolate
- White chocolate
- Food coloring (optional)
To Decorate:
- Colored sprinkles or any fun sweets of your choice
How to Prepare
1. Prepare the Batter
Start by whisking the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Use an electric whisk to get the mixture light and fluffy. Once it’s well-mixed, add milk, honey, and oil, blending until smooth and consistent.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, potato starch, cinnamon, and baking powder. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
3. Add the Chocolate Chips
Once the batter is ready, gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mix.
4. Bake the Donuts
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare your donut molds by buttering and lightly dusting them with flour to avoid sticking. Pour the batter evenly into each mold, filling them about two-thirds of the way. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the donuts turn a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into them comes out clean.
5. Let Them Cool
Once out of the oven, let the donuts cool in their molds for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Frosting
While the donuts cool, melt both the milk chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls. If you’re feeling adventurous, mix a few drops of food coloring into the melted white chocolate for a fun, vibrant touch.
7. Decorate
Now for the fun part! Dip each donut into the melted chocolate, and while the frosting is still wet, sprinkle on your favorite colored sprinkles or other sweets. Let the donuts sit until the chocolate sets.
Tips for Perfect Donuts
- Greasing the Molds: Buttering and flouring your donut molds ensures that the donuts come out easily without sticking.
- Chocolate Chips: To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking, you can toss them lightly in flour before adding them to the batter.
- Food Coloring: If using food coloring, stick with gel-based colors as they blend smoothly into melted chocolate without affecting its texture.
Customization Ideas
These donuts are super flexible, so feel free to get creative:
- Different Flavors: Switch up the chocolate chips for white chocolate, caramel chips, or even peanut butter chips.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a subtle twist.
- Extra Fun: Use a mix of rainbow sprinkles, mini candies, or even edible glitter to make your donuts extra eye-catching.
