Notes
Make sure to instant coffee in this recipe and not ground coffee beans.
I use this donut pan to make these donuts.
You can use a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with a hole cut out in the end to pipe your donuts into the pan. Don’t fill up the donut molds to full otherwise the donuts will overflow.
