I made these yesterday after finding this vid. I found after rolling out half the dough that it was going to make more donuts than we would eat so I refrigerated the rest hoping it would be ok. This morning I took it out rolled it (a little thicker than you did) and it made the fluffiest softest donuts ever. Keeping you around lol.

Absolutely about the hole in center. It allows oil to get into center to also bake the innermost part of the donut that otherwise would remain raw.I wonder if you could bake the donut holes, then pop them back into the donut hole, and glaze the whole thing. Or make a glaze with food coloring, glaze the holes red, and pop them into a while glazed donut. My brain at work, for what it's worth. I love the video, by the way.

I must admit, I am really picky about doughnuts. I'm fairly sure that I've never seen a fried "cake" doughnut over here in the UK, the cake ones are usually baked (and therefore are faux doughnuts because they are actually doughnut-shaped cakes) and the fried doughnuts are yeast-dough based. Though saying that, they might use fried "cake" doughnuts for the ones that look like a long finger that is split in the middle and filled with whipped cream and a swirl of jam/coulis on top. They're okay, but for me, the perfect doughnut is a solid yeast-based doughnut, freshly fried, rolled in castor sugar and filled with raspberry jam. Absolutely perfect, especially if it's still a little warm. 😍😍😍
@Elizabeth-tb5oh Жыл бұрын
In the states, these donuts and this recipe is a staple. They are anything but “faux”. And always fried to get that outer crisp. It’s how we eat them; especially in the fall with apple cider. We eat yeast donuts too. Filled.
@JustAnotherBuckyLover Жыл бұрын
@@Elizabeth-tb5oh Yeah, they definitely aren't fried here (or at least, I've not seen them made that way in my forty-some years). And if they're cake batter that is baked, I stand by my faux doughnut claim. 😁

I'm probably blind but I don't see the quantity for the vanilla. 😢 I found it in the linked recipe - whew! LOL. Just an fyi, in case you weren't aware, the vanilla ingredient is the only item not listed in the recipe you posted with the video. For peeps like me who go off the video tutorial, it's an important miss. My first batch, although tasted lovely, was too dense. Darnit. I don't know what I did wrong but round two begins tonight. Cannot wait!!

When I fry, which isn’t often, I use grapeseed oil. High smoking point, and zero flavour added to whatever you’re frying. And as for the toppings....the 3 you used are literally our favourites!!! Don’t have a deep fryer, but I do have a infrared thermometer!!

Sugar Geek Show I also have a candy thermometer (I’m old, so I gots lotsa gadgets 🤣), but mine doesn’t have a clip for the side of a pot (like Miss Martha has) for stability. So it would be fiddily, and yes, breakable, especially if I’m using my cast iron pot. My hubby saw me watching your video, now he’s bugging me to make some. 🤣🤣 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

I like chocolate glaze, strawberry flavor pink glaze, or both of these mixed together half and half to imitate the flavor of chocolate covered strawberries. Maybe coat the donuts with strawberry pink color glaze and immediately add rod shaped candy sprinkles before the glaze dries for a "HOMER SIMPSON" donut. The most famous cake donut coating is probably powdered sugar. You can make one that is better than HOSTESS, MRS. BAIRDS, or DOLLY MADISON. Maple glaze is nice. Carefully melted Lind Lindor fine chocolate truffles that have the chocolate cream filling insides make a great chocolate topping by itself, or on a vanilla or other flavor glaze donut. Just be very careful not to burn the chocolate when melting it. Fine chocolates melt easier, and taste better as a donut topping than, for example, Hershey’s chocolate. Maybe add some Ghirardelli caramel topping sauce with the chocolate like what is used as a coffee flavoring. Your traditional donut white glaze topped with broken Oreo cookie pieces would be nice too, maybe add caramel sauce to this also. Let me know if you like these ideas.

It’s horrible! And I’m supposed to put my dough in there? 😢well, I’m going to. I’ve come this far. I’ll keep you posted.

Donuts do not sit on the shelves for years, everything has an expiration date. I am 61 years old, if I ever saw anything past the expiration date, it was at a discount price. I don’t know why u said donuts sit at the stores for years , but since u have a KZfaq channel, take ur camera, go to the store u shop at, and show us a date showing that the donuts r years out of date
