Notes

*You can make homemade powdered sugar from maple sugar. Add 1 cup maple sugar to a food processor or blender and blend to a fine powder. 
**The batter will likely bake over the center piece. If you prefer your donuts to have a defined hole in the center: after they have cooled to touch and before you coat in cinnamon sugar, use your fingers to gently remove that area out of each donut.
