Last night in town before heading home for the holidays and I just couldn’t help leaving behind a fresh batch of homemade doughnuts for bae, partially because I had a hankering for something matcha flavored, mostly because I wanted to make sure he doesn’t starve while I’m away. They turned out to be so easy to make that I’ll definitely be making another batch for Christmas with my kiddie cousins. Not only do you save time and clean up using canned biscuits, but with just some green tea frosting and some sprinkles, you’re guaranteed to impress your friends and family with some beautiful looking donuts (unlike those holiday cookie Pinterest fails we’ve all had).
