Fluffy, light on the inside and crispy on the outside, these bite sized doughnuts are perfect for sharing at your next gathering. They are flavoured with cinnamon and honey for a slight sweetness. We've finished ours with chopped pistachios, but you can swap for another nut or simply serve with honey.
