This would be a recipe that I would have to make a triple batch because I would eat the first 2 before I am done.

I’ve never tried making donuts before, these have convinced me to buy a donut maker. So yummy and I bet they’d be fun to experiment with toppings and flavours.

I love that they aren’t deep fried!

  Me too!! And if you still desire a more buttery taste (closer to deep fried) the butter cinnamon mix is amazing! Reminds me of fairground food!
