Special Precautions and Tips:

• Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the donuts tough.
• If you don't have a donut pan, you can bake the batter in a muffin tin, lining each cavity with a muffin paper liner.
• Let the donuts cool completely before glazing or frosting, as this will help prevent the glaze from melting off.
