So I'd been trying to reward the kids with making doughnuts if they napped well but that was just not working... for about three weeks.
Eventually, they had a good nap one Sunday and the first thing Connor asked me when he woke was, "we're going to make doughnuts today?"
:)
They look cross but they're not cross about the doughnuts, only about the pics, because they want to get on with the action :)
Of course I need to document it because it takes real mental effort for me to
purposefully be messy.

check the fashions - Kendra loves her slipper socks... |

okay, there we have a laugh |
 |
mixing is serious business |
 |
look at that concentration |
 |
both getting in on the action |
 |
and the result? gorgeous little doughnuts |
 |
the kids had them just as is... but D and I had ours with cinnamon sugar |
The doughnut maker is from Clicks.
The recipe says that it makes 24 mini doughnuts. I made mine too full for the first round (see pic above) so I got exactly 21 (3 sessions of 7).
I can thoroughly recommend it - it's totally non-stick - I didn't even have to use Spray and Cook - and it really cooks in just 2 minutes... perfect for the toddler patience :)
