Cinnamon doughnut balls

These are AMAZEBALLS!!!  These little round balls of deliciousness are a mix between a soft little cake and a doughnut covered in cinnamon sugar.  I can't get enough of these but they need to be eaten in moderation - if that is at all possible!

They are extremely easy to make and surprisingly quicker than you would think.  All with no frying involved.  To get that perfectly round look, you will need a cake pop maker which can be bought from most department stores.  I got mine from Big W for about $18.  Alternatively, you can make them from a mini muffin tin but they won't be perfectly round.

Making cake pops is a total pain and I have had no success with them but now at least I have found a new use for the machine.

I hope you try them and LOVE them.

Enjoy,
Amanda

Cinnamon doughnut balls (by ALDI home cook

  •          100g butter, softened
  •          ½ cup caster sugar
  •          1 egg
  •          2 cups plain flour
  •          1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  •          1 cup milk
Coating
  •          ½ cup caster sugar
  •          ½ tsp cinnamon
  •          100g butter



Making the balls

1.       Add all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat until thoroughly combined. 



      To cook, you can use a cake pop maker or a mini muffin tin in the oven.  To get that perfectly round look, a cake pop maker is best.  You can purchase these from most department stores (Kmart, Big W, Target etc) for approx. $20.  

2.       If using a cake pop maker, fill the small holes with batter, close the lid and leave for approx. 5 - 6 mins.  Remove from cake pop maker and repeat with mixture.




      If using the oven, preheat to 180 degrees C.  Grease a mini muffin tin or line with muffin cups. Place a tablespoon of mixture into each hole.  Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 mins or until golden and cooked through.




3.       Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack. 



Coating the balls

1.       Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

2.       Melt butter in a small bowl.

3.       Roll the balls in butter, one at a time to cover.  Transfer ball to cinnamon sugar and roll to coat.  Set aside and repeat with the remaining balls.
