From 1 recipe, I made 3 kinds of doughnuts. Fried, oven baked, and in the form of drop doughnuts, which is known as Timbits in Canada. I love them baked as less calories, but my kids love them fried. I know, so naughty. They love the drop doughnuts too as they are fried as well 🙂
I have shared the oven baked and Timbits on separate post. For oven baked, click here, while for the Timbits, click here.
