Carnival (Mardi Gras) is a big thing here in Germany… well at least in some areas ;) My hometown goes crazy for a whole week, so do people in the area around Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Mainz. A week where everything is loud and colorful. We here in Berlin do not do anything when there is carnival time in Germany. It’s like “don’t bother us – it does not exist” ;P

Funfetti Baked Donuts | Bake to the roots

Well – since I am from the southern part of Germany where we celebrate carnival, I need at least something to remember me what’s going on at home. Sweet treats like these baked Funfetti Donuts are an option to get some fun into a gray February or March day ;))

No matter if you want to organize a carnival party or a birthday party – these easy baked Funfetti Donuts are always a good idea. The dough is simple and those little guys bake quickly. With some sugar glaze or chocolate and some colorful sprinkles, you will definitely have some nice to serve to your guests.

Of course, you could buy donuts in a store, but where is the fun in that? ;) If you have kids you can make a little event and let them decorate their donuts themselves. If you like certain kinds of flavors, add them… almond, citrus, caramel… or maybe something boozy like amaretto, baileys or limoncello… it’s up to you! Just don’t give the kids the booze :P

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

(6 donuts)

For the batter:
1 large egg
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
2 1/2 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. rainbow sprinkles

For the glaze:
3/4 cup (100g) confectioners’ sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2-3 tbsp. heavy cream
pink food color (optional)

rainbow sprinkles for the decoration

(6 Donuts)

Für den Teig:
1 Ei (L)
100g Zucker
2 1/2 EL geschmolzene Butter
120ml Milch
130g Mehl (Type 405)
1 TL Backpulver
1/2 TL Salz
2 EL Regebogen Zuckerperlen

Für die Glasur:
100g Puderzucker
1/4 TL Vanille Extrakt
2-3 EL Sahne
Pinke Lebensmittelfarbe (optional)

Regebogen Zuckerperlen für die Dekoration

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan and set aside.

2. In a large bowl mix the egg with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted (and cooled) butter and milk and mix in. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl. Mix until just combined. Add the rainbow sprinkles and fold in – try to work quickly and mix gently, or the sprinkles lose all of the colors. Transfer the batter to donut pan and fill the rings almost full, leaving the center free. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down a bit in the oan, then remove and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

3. For the glaze mix the confectioners’ sugar with vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth (add some food color if you like and mix in). Glaze the donuts and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Let dry.

1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Donut-Blech einfetten und zur Seite stellen.

2. Das Ei mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die geschmolzene und abgekühlte Butter und Milch dazugeben und verrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und kurz unterrühren. Die Zuckerperlen vorsichtig unterheben – hier auch nicht zu viel rühren, sonst verlieren die Zuckerperlen die Farbe. Den Teig auf die Donut-Formen verteilen (die Mitte sollte frei bleiben) und dann für 10-12 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und dann aus dem Ofen nehmen und in der Form etwas abkühlen lassen. Die Donuts aus der Form lösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

3. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit Vanille Extrakt und Sahne glattrühren (wer es bunt mag, mischt noch Lebensmittelfarbe unter) und die Donuts damit bestreichen. Zuckerperlen darüberstreuen und trocknen lassen.
