In episode three of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” Meghan Markle prepared doughnuts for chef Roy Choi, reminiscing about her childhood experience working at Little Orbit Donuts, where she sold mini doughnuts at craft venues.
While the exact recipe she used on the show hasn’t been publicly shared, you can recreate a similar treat with this classic mini doughnut recipe:
Ingredients (makes 6)
1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons (30ml) melted butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
Icing Glaze
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup icing sugar
Method
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder.
In a separate bowl whisk the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract and melted butter together until smooth.
Mix the wet ingredients mix into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined.
Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag and pipe the mix into the donut pan evenly, filling each one up to about 3/4 full.
Bake for 10 minutes until the donuts are very lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean.
To make the glaze, mix the buttermilk and icing sugar together until a smooth paste forms.
Dunk the top of the donuts into the glaze and place on a tray.
While the glaze is still wet, top with dried edible flowers.
Note: Meghan tops with edible dried flowers, but you could add sprinkles or choc chips or anything else that you prefer. Enjoy!
These mini doughnuts are reminiscent of the ones Meghan fondly recalled from her youth, offering a delightful bite-sized treat perfect for sharing.
