I was always a lover of fried donuts as a child, but these days I prefer a homemade, baked version (and I am happy to fed them to my girls!) and so does my belly. All the fun, with out feeling like a bag of rubbish after! Don’t get me wrong, when i come across the occasional vegan hot jam dot i am ALL IN, but for the rest of the days I take 5 of these, please.
