After we got the beignet batter ready and set it to rising, we switched to mini-donuts. I’d gotten Kavi a mini donut maker for her birthday, and I pretty much just talked the girls through a couple of the recipes in there — they could do it all themselves. It’s really more like waffles than donuts, in some sense, but they were very happy with the results. And they learned how to use a pastry bag, so that’s good.
