Mini Donuts: 100 Bite-Sized Donut Recipes to Sweeten Your "Hole" Day

Mini Donuts: 100 Bite Sized Donut Recipes to Sweeten Your Hole Day is a fantastic book to get to accompany your mini donut maker. We purchased the Babycakes Mini Donut Machine to gift along with this book and it was such a hit for our kids that we’ve been buying it for friends’ kids as well. The recipe book is full of easy to follow and very unique donuts. From the iconic “Homer Donut” to classic donuts all the way to innovative drink donuts, this book covers a wide range of flavors that would appeal to kids and adults. The recipes come with instructions so the donuts can be made in either a donut machine or in the oven, and are easy enough for my kids to make on their own without too much help. If your kids can bake cupcakes, these are on the same level since these donuts do not require to be deep fried. The book is full of beautiful photographs and some recipes has tips and info on various ingredients. Overall, if you’re looking for an easy to follow donut recipe book, this is great one to consider.

I purchased this book as a used item. The book was in perfect condition brand new. I paid less than retail price. The recipes are beautiful. I see many colorful pictures. Easy to read recipes. Very helpful tips in making the mini donuts. I received a mini donut maker for Christmas and had to have this book to make many kinds of donuts. I am happy I bought this. I've viewed recipes online and YouTube but this book makes the best donuts. If you buy it you won't be disappointed.

This is a great, recipe-packed book for donut maker machines, donut pans, and donut frying. All the recipes have common ingredients that you can get at most any regular grocery store but that doesn't mean the recipes are boring. You do get classics like regular cake donuts, but you also get Milky Way Mini Donuts, and Cherry Streusal Mini Donuts. You'll find donuts you like in here no matter what your taste. There's a large number of recipes too, 100 to be exact, so you're sure to find something. It has a nice tips section for all the different ways to make donuts in your donut maker, which is what I purchased. Definitely a worthy purchase,

Santa brought this for my 10-year-old daughter, along with a mini-donut maker. We have tried 4 of the recipes so far. Sure, they're not the crispy donuts you might get at a donut shop, but these recipes produce some tasty bites -- and quick with the mini-donut maker! Big hit! Pros: -Easy to follow recipes -- my daughter can essentially do this activity alone -Recipes are forgiving -- using 2% instead of whole milk or light sour cream instead of whole milk, for example, hasn't been a problem -Non-yeast recipes, as well as those for yeast and fried donuts -Pretty tasty -- and cute, too! -Good instructions for different cooking methods (e.g., baking in donut pans, electric donut makers, frying) and clearly marked recipes so you can figure out which method a recipe requires -Nice photos and design -Common ingredients used for the majority of recipes -The book itself is small -- kind of mini, but not so mini that it's difficult to use -- and put together nicely, with high-quality paper and a hardcover Cons: -This is titled as 100 recipes, but that is not accurate. There are 100 items, but many of the donut varieties are actually the same basic donut with various glazes and toppings. I suppose it's nice to have the batter recipe handy to the photo and glaze recipe so you don't have to keep flipping around, but I'm not sure it justifies calling this 100 recipes. I have not done a real survey, so perhaps as we use the book more, I will find that there is more variation on the batter recipes than I am seeing so far. Overall, I recommend the book, especially if you're getting an electric donut maker, because it gives a good visual tour of variety of cakey bites you can make and the recipes are forgiving and simple to follow--but I give it 4 stars for fudging on the title count.

This book is awesome. I found out about it by taking it out from the library, then loved it so much I had to buy one for myself. The recipes are all simple and use ingredients that you already have at home. I have tried about five of the recipes so far and they are very tasty. I have used an electric mini donut maker and used a mini donut pan in the oven. I have not tried deep frying yet but I have heard that is the best way to go. The author writes like she is your friend next door, this book will become a favorite one that you keep going back to to try one more kind of mini donut.

Lots of good recipes for the donut maker.

Nice book. I didn’t read the recipes but it’s nice quality and was a good add on gift to go along with a mini donut maker. My neice was really excited with this book and all of her donut related gifts..

I purchased an electric donut maker and absolutely hated the recipes included with the appliance. I went searching for a donut book that can be used with an electric maker. This book is really well done, great photos, easy to follow recipes, and terrific results. I like the fact that the writer included adjustments in the recipes for donut makers. Although I haven't gone through the entire book what I have made turned out really well.

This is a lovely baking book with delicious looking photos and recipes. It has details for if you are using a donut maker or not which is really handy aswell.

This looks like a really good book! I read thru it already. Super recipes! Lots of variety. Doesn't look too hard to make. Easy to follow directions. Highly recommend! There are recipes for fried donuts, baked donuts and also if you have a donut maker. And the pictures look very tasty too! Makes you want to eat the book! Update: 04.11.2015- I finally got a chance to use this recipe book! It's as wonderful to make the items as it sounds by reading it. My donuts came out perfect. In fact I used the batter to make cake pops as well. Turned out fantastic! Not too sweet. Just right! I used a Wilton donut baking pan and a cake pop silicon pan. No oil was necessary with these 2 items. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

I love this book! There is such a variety of amazing little donuts to experiment with that there is something for everyone. I really like that some recipes involve using pans while others involve cutting out and frying. My first attempt was with the mini banana bread donuts and they were super easy and delicious however the yield was three times what it had said [not that I'm complaining because who doesn't love mini donuts]!

Great book with lots of ideas on different styles, flavours and colours to try and use, perfect with the mini-doughnut maker.

I love this book - and I love Donuts. I have tried different recipes for the donut maker as well as for the baking pan. Really nice and delicious. A must-have for those of us with the "sweet tooth"! :) I love the pictures and the way the book is structured. Makes everything quite simple!
