Donut Frenzy at Our House!

 I recently acquired one of those mini-donut baking machine gadgets. Initially, I thought them a frivolous idea but once I tried it, I was hooked. It baked up six mini-donuts every three to four minutes. It actually helps to avoid binging on warm donuts because the first few bites of most anything are enough to cure the munchies . . . and, mini-donuts are just that amount. Have to admit, however, I did feel I had to try one of each kind I made.

Oh, and if homemade donuts weren't enough, these were gluten-free donuts!

Here are a few links to cookbooks I like for cooking/baking gluten-free along with one for that handy donut baking gadget.

http://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Shoestring-Quick-Easy-Love-Fast/dp/0738215937/ref=pd_sim_b_1 This cookbook has the donut recipe in it both plain and chocolate.

My secret for the cinnamon donuts? While they are still warm, I brush/dip them in melted butter and then roll them in a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a minute dash of cayenne.
