Notes
- The donut batter is sticky so you’ll need to help portion it into the donut pan and smooth out the tops.
- Make sure to smooth them so that the cinnamon sugar sticks when you dip them.
- Silicone donut molds work best. Even greased, a traditional donut pan makes it harder to get the donuts out and you’re more likely to rip them.
- The cinnamon sugar donuts are best eaten at room temperature. Though you can store them in the fridge, they do become a bit dense.
- Know that too much cinnamon in the sprinkle mixture makes the donuts come out with a very dark topping. If you’re making these to look good for a party, keep the cane sugar high in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
