Mini Red Velvet Doughnuts with Cream Cheese Glaze Recipe

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease mini non-stick doughnut pans with baking spray. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on high, about 1 minute. Whisk in the sugar until thoroughly combined, then whisk in the egg. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Fold half the flour mixture into the sugar mixture with a rubber spatula and combine thoroughly. Add the red food coloring to the buttermilk. Stir in the buttermilk mixture until smooth, then fold in the remaining flour mixture. Scrape the doughnut batter into a pastry bag, snip the tip, and evenly pipe the batter into the doughnut molds. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the doughnuts turn a light golden color and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. To make the glaze: use a mixer or a whisk to combine the cream cheese, honey, sugar, and milk until smooth. Dip the cooled doughnuts in the glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip. Garnish the doughnuts with edible flowers!
