You can use either a metal donut pan or a silicone donut pan to make bronuts. A silicone donut pan will likely make them a lot easier to remove because they are bendable. We used a metal donut pan and they came out just fine! Use a baking spray with flour to coat the metal pan before adding the batter. This will help them come out smoothly. Whichever pan you use, be sure to let the bronuts cool completely before removing.
