These look like muffins a little but they are actually mini donuts. Unfortunately the dough was sticky and I was having trouble filling those little tiny donut spots. So my patience when cooking is very limited I finally just did the best I could and this is how they turned out in the pan.
Once out of the pan and turned over they look more like donuts. They have an almond glaze on them and turned out pretty good. I didn't have the patience for more though so the rest of the dough I just put into my muffin top pans and they look like a muffin top. In the muffin top they actually look more like a round scone they are of the same texture as a baked scone also. I think that in the future if I want to use the donut pan I will have to pipe the dough into it.
