These are not doughnuts properly speaking, since instead of being deep-fried they are baked on a cookie sheet.

1. Combine all the ingredients except the eggs;
2. roll the dough out on a floured work surface to a 5 mm (1/4") thick; cut out shapes with cutters;
3. brush with egg yolk;
4. bake in a fairly hot oven until done; test as you would a cake.
