Notes
Tips and Tricks
- The batter will be thick. That’s perfect! Smooth the tops or bottoms with a spoon or spatula if you want neat donuts, or leave rustic — your dog won’t care.
- Silicone pans work best for release and even baking.
- Mini muffin tins can be a substitute for extra-small pups.
- Refrigerate glazed donuts to prevent glaze discoloration, especially with freeze-dried blueberry glaze.
