Ingredients

For the doughnuts

  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste

For the decoration

  • 100 g icing sugar
  • Pink food colour gel
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to Gas mark 3 and using an oil spray lightly mist the silicone mould with vegetable oil.
  • Sift the flour into a large bowl and place to one side. In a measuring jug mix your milk, egg, oil and vanilla paste.
  • Whisk by hand until well combined and light and frothy.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour and slowly pour in the wet ingredients.
  • With a wooden spoon or spatula, beat the wet and dry ingredients together. You want a thick sticky but smooth batter at the end.
  • Beat vigorously to make sure there are no lumps.
  • Fill the doughnut moulds roughly ¾ full with the batter. This can most easily be done with the assistance of a piping bag!
  • Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 10-12 mins until they are springy to the touch.
  • Pop out of the mould and leave to cool before icing.
  • To ice: mix together the icing sugar with 1 tbsp of water making glace icing. You want it thick enough to hold its shape but runny enough to drizzle.
  • Finally thoroughly mix in the food colouring.
  • Drizzle over the doughnuts and immediately decorate with the sprinkles.
