Bombolonis are Italian doughnuts that are shaped into round balls. These Bombolonis are coated in cinnamon sugar and are filled with a Nutella Ganache. These homemade doughnuts taste so much better than shop brought ones! I recently got a deep fat fryer and I wanted to test it out.

The deep fat fryer stops this problem so no more burnt doughnuts, I highly recommend getting one, it makes things so much easier!
