Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup cake flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package of milk chocolate chips
  • 6 finely chopped aunt sally's pralines
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and spray the mini-doughnut pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine the flour, both sugars, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the heavy cream, almond, eggs and melted butter until combined. Fill each pan cavity approximately 1/3 full (about 1/2 tbsp per cavity). Bake the doughnuts for 4 to 6 minutes. Insert a toothpick to determine if fully baked. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer them to a cooling area.
  2. Put chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, frequently stirring until it is simmering.
  4. Pour heated cream over chips and allow them to stand for 3-5 minutes
  5. Begin stirring until smooth and allow to cool to room temperature.
  6. Coat the doughnuts in the glaze and generously sprinkle with chopped pralines.
