Mini Donut Muffins

I seem to be doing more baking than sewing at the moment and I think that's because the kids help me in the kitchen and I can only do sewing when they're asleep!

Liss from Frills in the Hills is responsible for this recipe and it's a good one! Check out her site, lots of great recipes there!

*It's really important to make sure not to over mix your muffin batter, if you over mix your muffins won't be light and fluffy!

** When cooking things that rise don't open the oven door for the first half of the cooking time or you might find your treats not rising properly!
