Multiple baked good terms got thrown around in that recipe title. I love doughnuts, but not yet been up for investing in a whole doughnut (or doughnut hole) pan just to make them at home. The ideal scenario has been found – making the doughnut essence with a pan you already own. This is really straight forward and easy. I hope you enjoy a splendid autumn treat, grinning as nutmeg-y cinnamon sugar coats your taste buds. Be wise with who you leave alone with these.
