Dude Ranch Donuts (Donut Muffins)

Dude Ranch Family Vacations

Up here in the Colorado mountains, deep frying doughnuts is not practical, nor is finding a doughnut shop. This recipe gives the flavor of a cake doughnut from the city.

Here at Sundance Trail Guest Ranch, a Colorado dude ranch vacation includes breakfast out on the trail. However, a little something with a cup of coffee before hitting the trail is a delight -- especially right out of the oven. ...Ellen M. Morin, owner of Sundance Trail Guest Ranch
