Donuts

Be the first to review!

There is nothing like a good homemade fried donut to be soft, fluffy and sweet. We make ours from a yeast dough that has been put through its paces with butter, egg and milk powder to give it the kind of tender texture you would expect from the bakery. Once they have had time to rise we deep-fry them to a nice golden colour before rolling them in fine and powdered sugar for a simple, sugary finish that is hard to resist.
