Go Nuts Donuts!

today is our dear friend ruby's birthday! so in celebration we are making these adorable palm-sized donuts!



note: these do require a donut-maker, unless you have any inventive alternatives. we haven't tried it, but you could get very creative... perhaps pan-fry them & then cut out the centre holes?



ingredients
for the dough:
1/2 cup high grade flour
1/2 spelt flour
1/2 dark cane sugar
pinch sea salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup soy milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp caramel essence
2 Tbsp margarine
1 "egg"

to top:
sprinkles, to adorn
cinnamon + raw sugar
icing sugar + cocoa + water

directions:
1. preheat donut maker
2. combine all the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl, forming a thickish, sticky batter
3. cook for around 7 minutes, until a homely gold hue!
4. now for the toppings: either mix in a sugar-cinnamon combo
5. OR heat up a mix of cocoa, icing sugar, and a little water until a slightly thick sauce is created. dip the donuts in this & then cover with 100s and 1000s!

we enjoyed these with some deliciously sweet strawberries!
happy birthday ruby!
