No yeast baked donuts

When l think of doughnuts I think of going to the local pier at the beach, playing in the fair and arcades and then grabbing a bag of a dozen sugary donuts for the journey back to the car. I love donuts, regardless of the flavour so l really wanted to have a go at make these baked donuts with the boys,

A very simple recipe and cooked in just 10 minutes, they can be a quick afternoon treat to make.

With the countdown to valentines day I just had to decorate our donuts in pink and rose icing and decorate with edible rose flowers.

Why not have a go and make yourself.

Enjoy!.
