Step 2: Generously spray non-stick spray onto donut molds. Fill molds with donut batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let donuts cool slightly before removing from mold. *If donut molds are overfilled then a crust may form on the outer edge of the donut. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut and remove crust.
