Tips and FAQs for Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts
- Make sure you grease your donut pan well so that your donuts come out perfectly!
- If you have some donuts left over, store them in an airtight container and they should keep for a few days (if they last that long!)
If you don't have pastry bags, you can spoon the batter into the corner of a large resealable plastic bag and cut the tip to make a hole. It may be a little messier than using a pastry bag but it will do the job!
