Mini Baked Doughnuts with Rhubarb & Custard Dip

I've baked mini doughnuts a few times, but always using buttermilk and butter amongst the ingredients. When I was challenged to develop a recipe using A2 Milk (which you can read more about here) I experimented with my recipe to find the correct balance of ingredients that wouldn't stick to the pan, as well as not being too greasy. The kids didn't mind having to eat doughnuts at all, whilst I perfected the recipe. Jack is also loving the 'blue' A2 Milk in the fridge, and requests it on his cereal instead of his usual 'green'.

You can find my full recipe for these deliciously moreish doughnuts and rhubarb and custard dip on the Great British Chefs website here (don't forget to check out my other recipes whilst you're there too).

Baked Mini Doughnuts with Nutella Sauce

Recently I bought a Wilton mini doughnut pan but keep forgetting to buy the buttermilk to make them. I had some left over from making buttermilk pancakes and gave them a whirl. I put too much batter in the pan first time around which resulted in them being quite large & not having a hole. I learnt from my mistake and the second batch were much more doughnut like.

I used the recipe on the back of the packaging, which I have changed from cup measurements for ease. You don't really need a doughnut pan to make these, a mini ,muffin pan would work. I also used my cake pop maker to make some doughnut balls.
