If you love baking like I do, you’ve probably always wanted to make some homemade donuts. But you haven’t, because they look intimidating and is it really worth all that work when you can just run to the corner donut shop and pick one up for $.80? Yes, my friends it is! It really doesn’t take that much work to whip up a batch of homemade donuts, and chances are they will be healthier (i.e. not fried) than ones you normally scarf down on a Saturday morning. And once you see some of these delicious recipes below, good luck not trying a few out for yourself.
