Frequently Asked Questions

- Can I make this ahead of time? These donuts are best served fresh, but you can prep the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, baking powder, and salt) and the cinnamon sugar topping ahead of time.
- How can I store these? You can store the donuts (before dipping them in melted butter and coating them with cinnamon sugar) in an airtight container for 1-2 days. Add the butter and cinnamon sugar just before serving.
