I have very fond memories of eating Dunkin’ Donuts at my grandma’s house in Detroit when I was just a little kid.
It was always the highlight of my mornings hanging out at Wanda’s house, yes my grandma’s name was Wanda lol, and asking her the second I walked in if there were any doughnuts leftover. Fast-forward 30 years and I’m still obsessed with doughnuts and lucky for me there has been a huge doughnut craze the last 5 years which means there’s a doughnut shop on every corner, YES!! However, if you want to give them a whirl making them on your own, well then it’s never been easier.
This recipe is beyond simple to make and from start to finish you are looking at under 20 minutes. Yup that’s right, less than 20 minutes from the time you begin mixing together ingredients to the finished baked doughnut thanks to Nostalgia Electrics Cake Pop Bakery and Doughnut Hole Maker. Once your doughnut is baked it’s all on you to top it off with something delicious. I’m a bit of traditionalist so I whipped some simple toppings that most likely you will have the ingredients already stocked in your cabinets. Let the doughnut making begin!
