"These are a real kid pleaser. My son still asks for them and he's 27. Guess they're an adult pleaser too. Cook time is per batch. I have found that the coating adheres better if donuts are still warm."

these were great. I didn't have any peanut oil, so I used canola with about 1 T of PB instead in the donut mix. Fab flavor for these cake donuts. I had a hard time modulating the temperature, (stovetop not deep fryer) so they got dark quickly, but definitely a simple and yummy quick treat.
