At Texicureans we talk a lot about traditions being passed down through recipes. These Easter baskets are exactly that for my family.
My Mom made these Donut Easter Baskets for my school classes growing up, and I made them for my son’s classes. We also would typically have them for our Easter celebration with our cousins.
So easy to make, with lots of decorative panache – perhaps you’ll consider adding them to your traditions!
