Every once in a while you need a really special treat. These donuts are quick, easy, and delicious. My son’s reaction was priceless!
You can use all kinds of toppings. I’ve done coconut, sprinkles, jimmies, nuts, chocolate, vanilla, and orange frosting with grated orange peel.
I put a quick frosting in the recipe, but really you can use whatever frosting you like. Maybe cream cheese? You can also use melted chocolate to dip them in.
