- Pour the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Enjoy the donuts as is or top with your favorite glaze or toppings.
Notes
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
