Halloween Spider Donuts
Photography Josh Griggs.
These are so cute and work best with supermarket brownies or muffins as they are softer and easier to roll than a more expensive one. Tubes of coloured icing that set hard and the eyes are available in the baking aisle at supermarkets.
INGREDIENTS
chocolate brownie or plain chocolate muffin
edible eyes
plain or cinnamon sugar donuts with a hole in the centre
tube of black icing or thin strips of liquorice
METHOD
Roll tablespoons of chocolate brownie or chocolate muffin into balls. Place two dots of icing on each ball and add the eyes.
If needed, trim off a little of the donut hole so the ball will fit easily into it without falling off. Nestle the ball into the donut.
Pipe four legs on each side of the donut.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
