    I made these with my 13 year old today because I’m trying to find ways of including “bonding time” with just her and me (because I also have a 18 month ild). I love that it was quick, delicious and I felt victorious

    Just a tip…put your piping bag in a glass and fold itout over the glass. Then put your batter in the piping bag thats in the cup. Makes it easier then holding and will get it a little more toward the bottom so you may not have to work the batter down as much. Can do the same if you make your own frosting and fill a piping bag. But love these! Putting donut pan in future budget cause I hate paying a dollarish a donut and love baking! Ps since your a baker you should check out this easy scone recipe super easy and yummy I left out the extract and everyone devoured these at fathers day brunch. https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/new-hampshire-maple-walnut-scones-recipe

    I haven’t tried this recipe, but I LOVE making donuts for my boys, and did just that this morning. Even though it’s nice to go out and purchase one that someone else made (because variety and funky flavors can be a lot of fun), they really are SO easy to make yourself.

    What kind of milk do you use in the frosting?
