Making the Donut Batter [0:05]
To begin, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons (or 1/8 cup) of baking powder in a bowl, then mix. Add 1 cup of sugar and mix again. In a separate bowl for the wet ingredients, combine 3 medium-sized eggs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add 1 cup of vegetable oil (margarine or butter can be used as alternatives) and 1 cup of milk. Mix until the batter is fully combined and smooth, without any lumps.
Cooking the Mini Donuts [0:48]
Transfer the smooth batter to a piping bag or a spare bottle for easier dispensing. Preheat a mini doughnut maker and lightly brush it with oil. Dispense the batter into the doughnut maker. Cover and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, then flip the donuts to cook the other side for another minute. This process is safe and enjoyable for kids who want to learn about entrepreneurship.
Preparing Chocolate and White Chocolate Sauces [2:04]
To melt the chocolate, use a double boiler (bain-marie) with simmering water. Add 250 grams of dark chocolate and half a cup of milk (evaporated or fresh) to the double boiler. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk. Similarly, melt 250 grams of white chocolate with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water, adjusting the amount of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Making the Glaze [3:06]
For the glaze, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with approximately 1/4 cup of milk, adding the milk gradually to achieve the desired consistency. Add a splash of vanilla extract and stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Topping and Packaging Ideas [3:31]
Prepare various toppings such as marshmallows, crushed Oreos, cashew nuts, powdered milk, and sprinkles. Dip the mini donuts in the glaze, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. Then, add toppings according to preference. For packaging, arrange 12 pieces in a set inside a paper box. You can also use smaller containers for 8 or 10 pieces, dividing the donuts into different flavors. Pour glaze, chocolate, and white chocolate over the donuts, and add toppings like cashew nuts on chocolate-covered donuts and sprinkles on white chocolate-covered donuts.
Cost and Profit Analysis [5:32]
The total cost for the ingredients used in the recipe is 181 pesos, which yields 53 mini donuts. This is enough for about four sets of 12 donuts each. The selling price can range from 100 to 120 pesos per set, depending on the market and toppings used. With this pricing, the potential profit ranges from 219 to 299 pesos, based on using just 2 cups of flour.
