Yum

Now, I'm brain-storming trying to think of what I have on hand without purchasing another specialty pan. Do you think I could use my mini-muffin pans for oddly shaped "donut holes?"

Default Doughnut Maker

I recently purchased one of these doughnut pans and tried the recipe below but used a lemon cake mix instead.
Since the recipe did not dictate whether or not to fill the doughnut batter to the top......I did!
Unfortunately, when they baked, the "HOLE" was covered over. So I improvised.
I turned the "doughnuts" over, filled the "hole" with lemon curd, then drizzled a lemon glaze (lemon juice, powdered sugar, a little milk until creamy) all over. Wahlah! I had lemon glazed doughnuts! They were a hit!
Goes to show mistakes can be an opportunity to create other goodies.
I can see the endless possibilities: jelly filled, cream filled, etc.
