To prepare, you will typically combine the contents of the mix with specified amounts of liquid ingredients such as eggs, milk, and oil or melted butter. The batter is then mixed until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Once the batter is ready, it can be used for baking or frying, depending on your preference. For baking, it's usually poured into doughnut-shaped pans. For frying, the batter is often dropped into hot oil. After cooking, you can dust them with cinnamon sugar or glaze them.
