Method
step 1
Halve the iced ring doughnuts through the equator using a small, serrated knife, so you end up with two thinner doughnuts. Set aside.
step 2
Whisk the milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, orange zest and sugar together in a wide, shallow dish. Melt half the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a low heat.
step 3
Briefly dip half the doughnut halves into the milk mixture, flipping over once and shaking off any excess, then fry cut-side down for 3 mins until golden and caramelised. Flip over and fry for 1-2 mins more (this side doesn’t need to fry as long, as the sugared topping will brown more quickly). Repeat with the remaining doughnut halves.
step 4
Top with your choice of maple syrup, jam, or chocolate spread and chopped nuts, then dust with icing sugar if you like. Serve warm.
