Olive Oil and Homemade Jam Thyme Infused Doughnuts

I have been a lover of doughnuts since the very first time I had one at Poole Harbour when I was a youngster. Fluffy and covered in sugar I was sold from that moment on. However, there are so many different variations of doughnuts these days and you simply do not need a big fryer to make them anymore because baked are just as delicious. These baked Olive Oil and Homemade Jam Thyme Infused Doughnuts are just the moistest and so easy to make that you'll be making them again and again and again.To make these doughnuts I use the 12 Cup Swirl Ring Tin from Lakeland.

What can't you do with a madeleine tray? These easy baked doughnuts are small but feisty and absolutely delicious.
