Steam Combi Recipe: Oven Baked Doughnuts

 
 These are a healthier alternative to deep fried donuts as they are oven baked and as this recipe is not using a yeast dough, they are very quick to prepare. 
 You will need a doughnut ring baking tin or doughnut silicon mould for this recipe

METHOD

1. Preheat oven - Fan Forced- 170 C - If your oven has the capability add 1 burst of steam at the beginning of the cooking process .
2. Sift dry ingredients. 
3. Whisk sugar and egg until light and fluffy. 
4. Add yoghurt, melted butter, milk and vanilla to the egg and sugar. Mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Mix until just combined. 
5. Spray doughnut tin with baking spray. 
6. Put doughnut batter into a piping bag without a nozzle. 
7. Pipe the doughnut batter until each round is 2/3 full. 
8. Once oven has reached 170 C, place doughnuts tins into the preheated oven and press the tick icon. Cook until doughnuts bounce back approx. 14 minutes - cooking time will depend on size of donut mould. 
9. Whilst donuts are cooking, prepare glaze by mixing sifted icing sugar and milk together until smooth. If you desire a thinner consistency add half a tsp of milk at a time and for a thicker consistency add more icing sugar, a spoonful at a time. 
10. Add a couple of drops of food colouring to the icing. You can always add more so just add 1 or 2 drops at a time. Food gels work best as they do not alter the consistency. 
11. Once doughnuts are cooked, remove from donut baking tin and dip donuts in castor sugar / cinnamon mix. After cooling briefly spoon over glaze and sprinkles.
