Mint Frosted Mini Doughnuts

And to be honest. It wasn’t anything to be afraid of. Easy peasy.

I used THIS recipe and the doughnuts came out with a medium density and very tasty. The only change I made was to add Rose extract. Once I moved away from the chocolate-baked version I decided to go with a rose-flavored doughnut and mint-flavored frosting. Well of course the mint glaze overpowered the rose flavor. Duh. I blame that on overexposure to extract fumes.

I used a small doughnut cutter to shape these Mint Frosted Doughnuts. Of course, I saved the holes to fry up as well.

We are buried in snow here in the German countryside so I was inspired to decorate them with a pastel wintery wonderland motif.

For the Mint Frosting:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon rose extract
• 3 cups confectionary sugar – sifted
• A few drops of Wilton’s White White

Directions:

• Before you start making the glaze, organize all your decorations. The glaze dried fast so you need to work fast. Have everything set up beforehand. I split my decorations into small wide bowls.
• In a double boiler heat milk and extract over medium heat.
• Slowly stir in the sugar until a smooth glaze forms.
• Add the food coloring and stir until mixed in. Turn the heat down to low.
• One at a time dip the doughnuts in, and hold them over the pan to drip off the excess glaze. Then immediately dip the glazed doughnut into the decorations (sprinkles, glitter, pearls, etc.)
