A friend of mine recently let me borrow a mini donut maker. He mentioned that the recipe that came with it was pretty bad and I should look for something else. So off I went.
This isn’t like going to Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, but if you get a good topping or make slight adjustments to the recipe you’ll find something a bit more to your liking.
I got the original for this from http://bakerbettie.com/baked-cinnamon-sugar-mini-donuts/ but made a few changes. Notably, the wet and dry ingredients are mixed separately. Second, make sure all the wet ingredients are at room temperature. The butter will harden back into chunks and it’ll make it hard to pipe.
Donuts...I got donuts!
