French Donuts (St Michel Style Cakes)
This Giant Chocolate Vanilla Madeleine recipe is a Copycat of the Famous French "Doonuts" from St Michel Bakery.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
- 1 1/4 cup (150 g) flour
- 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
- 10 Tbsp (150 g) butter (Melted)
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) milk
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the eggs and sugar together. (It is very important for this recipe to not over mix the batter).
- Add flour and baking powder, then the melted butter. Gently mix until well incorporated.
- Split your batter into two mixing bowls. In the first bowl, mix in the unsweetened Cocoa Powder with milk. And in the second one, mix in the Vanilla Extract.
- Using your large round tip placed in the Pastry Bags, fill your Pastry Bags with the donut batter. Ideally, place it overnight in the fridge, if not possible, a minimum of 2 hours will do.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C (at least 30 minutes prior baking).
- The following day, place your Donut Flexipat® Tray on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
- Take your Pastry Bags out of the fridge and carefully pipe your dough into each wells. (Alternate between 1/4 Vanilla and 1/4 Chocolate twice).
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your French Donuts from 18min).
- Once your Donuts are out of the oven, unmold right away and place on a cooling rack. They can be enjoyed right out of the oven. I do prefer them the following day, they taste even better. These donuts can be stored in a airtight container, up to a few days later. Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
