Baked & Frosted Doughnuts

Submitted by Sara 76

"These doughnuts are best eaten warm. You can tint the icing with food colouring if you like, or add a little cocoa powder. Or, skip the icing, brush the hot doughnuts with melted butter, and then sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. From the January 2009 issue of "recipes +" magazine."

Something got lost in the translation of this recipe. I followed the directions and the result was a flat, dense puck! Someone might want to test this and re-post!
