  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a mini muffin pan or a cast iron aebleskiver pan with non-stick spray.

  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mold and bake for 14-16 minutes.
  6. Remove and let cool.
  7. Repeat until you have used all the batter.
  8. Batter makes 20 doughnut holes.
