Notes
These luscious treats are best served warm, but can be made the night before.
If you'll be pre-making the donuts to serve in the A.M., skip the cinnamon sugar topping when the donuts are hot out of the oven - instead cool donuts per usual.
In the morning, set your oven to broil and pop the donuts in for 2 minutes. Immediately sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the beauties and voila! Ready to serve.
