Baked & Frosted Doughnuts image

These doughnuts are best eaten warm. You can tint the icing with food colouring if you like, or add a little cocoa powder. Or, skip the icing, brush the hot doughnuts with melted butter, and then sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. From the January 2009 issue of "recipes +" magazine.
