Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnuts / Pečeni mini krofi

My mom bought a baked donut machine for those mini donuts with a hole in the middle and as soon as I saw it, I said : ''U ! U! Can I borrow it? '' =) Even before she opened the box, the machine was at my place. Then Gašper and I were renovating apartment and the machine was left stocked somewhere, along with other junk in boxes. Last weekend it seemed that the conditions are ideal, in order to test this I started baking.

Moja mami je kupila pekač / aparat za peko mini krofov z luknjo v sredini in takoj, ko sem ga videla, sem rekla: ''U! U! A si ga lahko sposodim?'' =) Še preden je odprla škatlo, je bil pekač pri meni. Potem sva z Gašperjem prenavljala stanovanje in pekač je ostal založen nekje, skupaj z ostalo kramo. Prejšnji vikend se mi je zdelo, da so pogoji idealni zato, da se lotim testa tega pekača.

Baking in this thing is really quite simple, nothing stuck on the pan (I lost a lot of nerves with that machine for baking waffles, because I prematurely lifted the lid and the waffles opened at the center and completely stuck to the pan). This recipe is actually quite similar to the recipe for pancakes, so these donuts taste similar. If you do not have this donut machine, you can also buy a baking pan on which they are models for donuts with holes. Those are for big donuts. I know that I would like to buy it for myself and because those donuts are bigger, I would fill them with hazelnut or vanilla cream. These little ones are great without anything in them, because they have glaze on top. With love, Neja

Peka je res čisto preprosta, nič se ne prime (pri pekaču za vaflje sem na začetku zgubila kar veliko živcev, ker sem prezgodaj dvignila pokrov in so se vaflji na sredini odprli, razpolovili na dva in se čisto sprijeli na pekač). Tale recept je v bistvu precej podoben palačinkam, tako da imajo krofi okus, ki spominja na palačinke. Če nimate tega aparata si lahko kupite tudi pekač, na katerem so modelčki za te luknjaste krofe, samo tisti so mislim, da veliki. Vem, da bi si ga sama prav rada kupila in ker so tisti krofi večji, bi jih napolnila z lešnikovo ali vanilijevo kremo. Tile majhni so super tudi brez file in z glazuro na vrhu. Z ljubeznijo, Neja

Blend in eggs one at a time then mix in vanilla extract.

Bake in preheated oven 7 - 8 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into doughnut comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool until lukewarm then dip in glaze and return to wire rack, immediately top with sprinkles if using and allow glaze to set at room temperature. For the glaze:  In a flat bottomed bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt then stir in 2 Tbsp of milk, adding additional milk 1 tsp at a time to reach desired consistency and whisk until smooth. Tint with food coloring if desired. Warm in microwave in 6 - 10 second intervals on HIGH power to warm as it begins to set while dipping doughnuts, as needed, whisking after heating.

Sestavine 333g bele moke 1 in pol žličke pecilnega praška ¼ sode bikarbone ¾ žličke soli 57g stopljenega masla 55g olja 175g sladkorja semena 1 vanilijevega stroka 2 jajci 2 žlički vanilijevega ekstrakta 240ml mleka maslo za pekač Glazura 188g sladkorja v prahu 43g masla, stopljenega 1 žlica vanilijevega ekstrakta ščepec soli 2-3 žlice mleka jedilna barva mrvice za posip Postopek Če imate aparat za peko krofov se držite navodil, če jih boste pekli v pečici: pečico segrejte na 220 stopinj. Namastite pekač. V skledi zmešajte skupaj moko, pecilni prašek, sodo bikarbono in sol. V ločeni posodi zmešajte z električnim mešalnikom  stopljeno maslo, olje, sladkor in semena vanilijevega stroka, približno 1 minuto. Mešanici eno po eno dodajte jajce in dodajte vanilijev ekstrakt. Prvi mešanici dodajajte mešanico z moko in mleko, izmenično. Vse sestavine dobro premešajte z električnim mešalnikom. Dobljeno maso vlijte v pekač. Pečemo v ogreti pečici 7-8 minut, oziroma dokler zobotrebec, ki ga za test zapičimo v krof ne pride ven čist. Krofe pustite, da se malo ohladijo, vmes pripravite glazuro, potopite krofe v glazuro in jih takoj posipajte z mrvicami, pustite, da se glazura strdi. Za glazuro: V skledi zmešajte skupaj sladkor v prahu, stopljeno maslo, vanilijo in sol, nato vmešajte 2 žlici mleka, dodajte mleko, če je potrebno. Z metlico mešajte, do gladkega. Dodajte jedilno barvo. Krofe potopite v glazuro in postavite na peki papir/krožnik ter posipajte z mrvicami. Če se glazura začne strjevati, jo postavite za par sekund v mikrovalovno pečico ali v posodo z vročo vodo.
