1. Melt butter; prepare your kanafeh dough by putting it in the food processor until small pieces but not super fine. The softer it is the better for fitting into the mini doughnut pan.
2. Prepare your nut/coconut mixture by adding the sugar and orange blossom water until a paste is formed.
3. Fill the mini doughnut pan with the dough place in a 350 oven for 20-25 minutes until light golden brown. (If you want them crunchy let them stay in longer until darker in color)

5. Take a small amount of the filling and place it in the hole of the mini doughnut.
