Because I know some people will ask, it is possible to bake these doughnuts. Place the discs of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 190 degrees C before brushing with melted butter and rolling in sugar. The result is slightly heavier and a lot less golden - more of a soft, sweet bun than a doughnut. An option if you're on a diet, perhaps, but one which pales in comparison to the real deal.
