Wilton Doughnut Baking Tin, Non Stick, Large, 6 Hole

Product Information

A donut pan looks a lot like a muffin pan but with a raised cylinder in the center of each cup to create the quintessential hole. The only downside to using a donut pan instead of buying them ready-made or cooking them in a messy fryer? No donut holes!

Brown sugar: this adds sweetness to the doughnuts along with additional moisture and a caramelised flavour.

Make sure you’ve prepared your tools before you start mixing: grease your pan and preheat your oven. It’s easy to forget once you start mixing! I always advise that you should thoroughly read a recipe before you begin. This helps you prepare your workstation and see potential issues (like forgetting to preheat your oven).

Donut pans come in various sizes, but I found that the size I used for this recipe produces the perfect donut shape and size without causing the brownie batter to dry out. Use good quality chocolate. Chocolate with a high cocoa percentage will give you the best flavour and texture.Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst, until melted. Avoid overcooking as this can negatively affect the chocolate. I found this donut mould best as it’s flexible, so things pop out easily. Plus, the middle stalk is taller than the mould, meaning the bronut batter won't rise over the hole as it rises. How can I get my bronuts out of the mould? Once you have a donut pan, the rest of the recipe is a super low effort, one bowl process. So if you don't have a donut pan, what are you waiting for? Leave your doughnuts to cool completely before decorating. They don’t take long, maybe 20 minutes or so. Doing it sooner could result in them breaking or crumbling as you dip them in your glaze.
