Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Slice the glazed ring donuts in half lengthwise with a small serrated knife, obtaining two thinner donuts. Set aside.

2. 2

   Whisk the milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, orange zest and sugar together in a wide shallow bowl. Melt half the butter in a non‑stick skillet over low heat.

3. 3

   Quickly dip half of the donut halves into the milk mixture, giving them a single flip and shaking off excess, then fry the cut side down for 3 minutes until golden and caramelised. Flip and fry for another 1‑2 minutes (this side needs less time as the sugar glaze browns faster). Repeat with the remaining donut halves.

4. 4

   Serve with your chosen maple syrup, jam or chocolate spread and chopped nuts, optionally dust with icing sugar. Serve warm.
