Notes

Can I use cake/pastry flour?

If you prefer you can use cake flour instead of all purpose, it will make the donuts softer and more tender. For every cup of all purpose flour, remove two tablespoons and replace with two tablespoons of corn starch.

Do I Need A Donut Pan?

Not really you can make your own, all you need is a cupcake pan and foil. Cut the foil into 11 inches (30cm) and then cut in half, gently mold the foil around your middle or ring finger. Then gently press the form into the muffin tin. And there you have a donut form to make baked donuts.

I always find either with the homemade pan or an actual donut pan that the batter bakes over the hole, all you have to do is recut the hole out with a medium round pastry tip, it gives it a cleaner cut then a knife.

How to store the donuts

Store the baked cooled donuts in an air tight container at room temperature. They will last up to 4 days. They can also be frozen in a freezer safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
