The past week was all about donuts in Slovenia. We celebrated Carnival or Shrove or Fat Tuesday which is traditionally celebrated with lots and lots of donuts. Fried, of course, and made with white wheat flour. I don’t have anything against them being fried, but since I don’t eat wheat, I had to pass on the donuts. They sell spelt flour donuts in some places now but one of these babies costs 2,80 EUR (while regular ones usually cost less than 0,50 EUR)! So I figured, why not just make them myself? And make them American! And while I am at it, make them oven-baked! So just in time, I got a recipe from Malinca to my inbox, ran straight to the store to buy the baking tray and made them this weekend. They turned out super pretty and delicious!
