You know, everyone should have a really delicious homemade donut recipe, don’t you agree? I have to tell you, I’m so excited that I found this one! It’s one of the easiest ones that I have seen if you want a completely homemade donut.

And the great thing about this one is you can use the recipe to make regular old fashioned glazed donuts or you can change them up a bit by adding homemade cream filling, jelly or any number of other fillings. You can make this slow cooker Bolognese for dinner and prepare the donuts while it’s cooking!
