These doughnuts are extremely moorish and flavoursome enough to be served as christmas/party treats!
They are wheat-free and gluten-free. I used 'Doves farm' self raising flour as this helps the doughnuts to rise.
They are a moist, mildly spicy and ideal served with some fresh coconut cream. Even writing that is making me hungry! yum!
