Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Coat a 6-indentation doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Spoon batter into a large resealable plastic bag. Cut off a corner and squeeze batter into prepared indents, about ⅔ full. Smooth tops. Bake at 325 degrees for 13 minutes, until doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan on rack 3 minutes, then carefully turn out onto rack to cool.
