What do you need to make these Breakfast Cereal Doughnuts?

Doughnuts can be made in two ways – in the oven or in a fryer. The classic yeast doughnut (the big fluffy glazed one you used to drool over at the doughnut shop as a kid) is fired. This means they are cooked in a vat of super hot oil. The other option is to bake them – just like you would a cake or a cupcake. But you do need a doughnut pan. This gives you that perfect doughnut shape! They come in metal and silicone forms. I always prefer metal ones. This is the one I use and it’s great.
