Homemade Mango Doughnuts

Thank you Tampico Beverages for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Doughnuts are one of our favorite special breakfast foods. We often commemorate special days, like first days of school and birthdays, by walking to our neighborhood shop together for sweet treats. Our local shop owner was actually the first person to ask me if I was pregnant, way back in 2008.

As much as we love our shop, and the array of flavors we can get there, doughnuts have also always been something I've wanted to try my hand at making.

I'm a little intimidated by deep frying, and generally leave it to Jamie when there is frying to be done, but I decided that it was now or never, and put together this recipe for delicious homemade doughnuts with a kiss of Max's favorite fruit, mango.

The mango flavor in these comes from two places; I used mango purée in the batter (read: Mango baby food) and then I used Mango Punch Tampico in both the batter and the glaze. The sweetness of the Tampico makes for a lovely glaze flavor, and the cake doughnut has a sweet and subtle flavor.

One thing that you'll definitely need to make these happen is a doughnut cutter. <– That link will show you the one I have. You can use two separate cookie cutters in different sizes, but I think the specific cutter is a better bet so you don't have to worry too much about getting the hole perfectly centered. Uneven hole placement can make the doughnut fry up unevenly, so this is actually a thing you need to consider. 🙂

Who knew these boring rings would turn into beautiful doughnuts?

  1. Combine flour and baking powder, set aside.
  2. In mixer with paddle attachment, combine eggs and sugar, beat 5 minutes at medium speed.

  15. Cook for 40 seconds on each side.
  16. I use chopsticks to flip them over in the oil.
  17. Remove to a cooling rack lined with paper towel to drain.

  19. When warm but not hot, dip doughnuts in glaze and set on cooling rack to drip.
  20. I recommend a second coating of glaze for best results, leaving a few minutes in between each coat to set.
