Doughnuts are a regular pastry made in so many parts of the world and my love for doughnuts started from way back, when I was still a kid. I love to have it with tea for breakfast or with ice-cream as a snack at any other time of the day(so yummy!) I can have them plain or rolled in cinammon sugar or drizzled with chocolate & a few sprinkles on😉😋. I have tried different recipes before coming up with this one myself. So here's my special go to recipe for a quick fluffy doughnut, I'm sure you'll love it too.
