I don’t know why, but sometimes I just crave doughnuts. Not just any doughnuts, but lovely little pillows of Cinnamon Sugar Sour Cream Doughnuts. What I like best about these is that there is no frying. You simply fill the mini doughnut pans and bake them. They are perfect for kids since they’re little bits and they make a great little sweet addition to any breakfast for brunch.

Is it Doughnut or Donut?

The old-fashioned traditional spelling was Doughnut.  But with the name of that famous coffee and donut shop (you know the one), “Donut” has become the more common way to spell it. But for now, I’m sticking with tradition…Doughnut.

Other Flavors of Glaze:

1. You can use any fruit juice as a glaze. I’ve used freshly squeezed lemon juice, orange juice, and grapefruit juice.
2. For a more sweet taste, you can use just confectioners sugar and water or milk. You could also add cinnamon to this mixture.
