Minibagels
- Place the grill at the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 190 ° C (375 ° F). Generously butter a 12-cavity donut pan.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the oil and mix. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk and mix until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.
- Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain nozzle, distribute the preparation in the cavities of the mold. Sprinkle the top of the paste with sesame seeds.

Assembly
