No Need To Stop For Coffee And A Pastry On Your Way To Work When You Can Make It At Home
This batter is super light and airy so it doesn’t feel heavy. The spices are a perfect blend from the first time you take a bite. Seriously you might want to consider making a double batch because as soon as these cool off enough to roll in sugar you are not going to be able to resist.
Making these in small muffin tins really do look like donut holes! Cute and amazing! Now that is something I am going to have to fix my grandkiddo the next time I go to visit!
