  7. Ah, I am excited! As dedicated baker- I have never seen donut pans! I will have to start the search here in Oz. I was gearing myself up to make my Grandma’s traditional Easter donuts this year (they take about 2 days from start to finish and 1 day to be demolished!) A donut pan might keep me satisfied until then!
