Abbie and I were looking over some of my Pinterest boards when we found a donut recipe, and decided that today was the perfect day to make them.
It was a simple recipe. Mix the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients.
Mix the wet into the dry
until incorporated.
Spoon into a greased donut pan
and smooth around.
Bake at 350 for 9 minutes, and cool on wire racks.
Melt chocolate and shortening to make a frosting.
Hannah joined us for this part.
Add sprinkles, if you like. Abbie liked.
Frost and sprinkle, frost and sprinkle. They made a good team.
Looking good!

Hannah insists that, "Donuts are sugary amazingness."
Hannah asked me if I liked this recipe enough to keep.
Well....maybe
- The cake part is gluten free. {+}
- In batter form, it doesn't taste very good. {-}
- The recipe calls the frosting a "glaze", but instead of a thin glaze, it was a thick frosting. {+/- depending on your preference.}
- The final product is delish. {+}
It's a keeper.
Next time for a thin "glaze" I think I will try mixing espresso with powered sugar.

I'm glad those are GF, but I can't imagine them beating the AMAZING donuts Hannah made when I came to visit. Still dreaming about those :-) xoxo from CA
