While they're miniature in size, you'll love the big flavor in these savory and sweet bite-sized treats. The grand prize-winning and delectable donuts are baked with a buttermilk batter and finished with a sensational sprinkling of diced SPAM® Classic, SPAM® Hickory Smoke or SPAM® with Bacon.
To make dough, in large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
In small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup buttermilk, the egg and butter. Add to flour mixture. Spoon mixture into pastry bag fitted with large round tip. (Or snip corner of resealable plastic food storage bag.) Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled.
Cut your selected SPAM® variety into 12 slices. With 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut 2 rounds from each slice SPAM®. Cut small circle from center of each round of SPAM®; reserve scraps.
In large greased skillet, cook SPAM® rounds until golden; set aside. Finely chop reserved SPAM® scraps. Cook in same skillet until golden brown.
Heat oven to 325°F. Grease mini doughnut pans.
Fill doughnut molds evenly with chilled batter; top each with SPAM® round. Bake 10 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when cooked. Let cool in pan 5 minutes before turning onto wire rack.
To make glaze, in small bowl, combine powdered sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk and the maple flavoring. Stir until mixture becomes runny. Drizzle glaze over warm doughnuts. Sprinkle with finely chopped SPAM®.
