Note: If you have a donut maker, pre-heat the appliance for 4-5 mins, then evenly spoon 2 tsp of the donut mixture into each mould. Close the lid, then cook for 2 mins or until the doughnuts are golden brown and bounce back when touched. Once done, carefully remove the donuts from the donut maker and place onto a wire rack to cool down before serving.
