"Ahh, the humble donut - sweet, delicious, and versatile. You can enjoy them plain if you like the minimalist approach, or filled. You can also top them with an endless array of treats, from a simple glaze to cookie crumbles, sprinkles, and sauces. Typically a donut is the purview of a professional baker. It's a treat you leave the house to get. Maybe you'll buy a half dozen, or even a full dozen,"
"For a more authentic donut, you can use an instant pancake mix and mix three parts of it with one part milk instead of water. What you're going for here is not a batter but a dough. It will be a little rough and lumpy looking, but that's okay. Transfer to a floured surface and roll it out to ¼" thickness. Then use any round cutter to shape the donuts, cut out the hole, and fry them in a pan until golden on both sides."
Donuts can be made at home easily using pancake mix, either fried or baked. Pancake donuts can approximate traditional yeast donuts depending on recipe and preparation. For a more authentic texture, combine instant pancake mix with three parts mix to one part milk to form a dough; adding an egg or egg substitute improves cohesion. Roll the dough to about 1/4" thickness, cut shapes with a round cutter, and fry until golden, then glaze or coat as desired. For lighter donuts, prepare pancake batter with water and bake it in donut molds. Homemade donuts allow endless topping customization.
