Donut Muffins

April 3, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 24 Comments

We have just been called to afternoon tea by Sarah who has baked us some delicious Donut Muffins using a recipe she found here. Lots of cinnamony goodness.

Such a joy to have a daughter who bakes us nice treats.

    Yum, I have been wanting to try Nigella’s recipe (from her How to be a Domestic Goddess book) for donut muffins for a while – they sound truly decadent with jam inside!
    I’m sure you enjoyed these!

    My mum makes these with a dollop of jam in the middle.
    Fill the muffin pan one third full add a teaspoon of jam (this is not an accurate measure rather a small spoon of jam)
    fill the muffin pan to the normal level and bake.
    We use strawberry or one of mum’s homemade combinations but any would do, even marmalade to cut through the sweetness would be nice.
    They do leak a little if you put too much jam. Try to keep it in the centre in a neat pile before adding the rest of the mix.
    YUM YUM YUM

    Oh my! I just found your blog and it’s soooo wonderful. I love, love, love, donuts and cinnamon too but, for health reasons only have one once in a while, so this recipe is a little piece of heaven. I can’t wait to make them with my daughter who loves baking share them with my sister who is a fellow connoisseur. Looking forward to future visits of your wonder posts.
