Method
Donut Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Flavorings
Divide the batter into separate bowls for each flavor: add apple cider to one, cocoa powder to another, red velvet cake mix to another, and fold in blueberries for the last. For the monthly special, add the ingredient of your choice.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
Fill Donut Pan
Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with Sugar
Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar and add chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired.
Fresh Fruit Salad Preparation
Prepare Fruits
In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, kiwi, melon, and halved grapes.
Add Honey
Drizzle with honey if desired and toss gently to combine. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Chilled Fruit Juices Preparation
Mix Juices
