Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Donuts

Here in Canada, we have a fast food chain called Tim Hortons, and they specialize in coffee, muffins, cookies, and most importantly, donuts. My favourite go-to is the old fashioned sour cream glazed donut. Hands down, THE best one, in my opinion. It's a dense, but soft donut, and thickly glazed in a simple icing. It's delicious and 100% satisfies my massive sweet tooth.

I decided to just make the "donut holes" because I like bite-sized things, and makes me feel less guilty when eating them lol.
