Notes
Notes:
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a disposable plastic zipper baggy instead. Just add the batter and snip the corner and fill.
- Don't overmix. It will ruin the texture of the donuts.
- If you overfill the donut pan you will get a ridge around the perimeter. It doesn't affect the taste but if you will not have a perfectly round donut.
- You can store sourdough discard in its own container in the refrigerator so you can bake up Sourdough Baked Donuts any time you want.
