Tried and Tested Donut Recipe, Anyone?

[Renee1]

When I was a kid, my mom made donuts once and I can still remember the smell of the apartment. I am not crazy about frying stuff, but tomorrow's the day when I exercise all my frying fantasies (beer battered tofish, homemade fries, daiya mozza sticks) and go for it.

Help?

daiya mozza sticks

All I can think of now is these...

No doughnut help here, I'm afraid.

My mom also made donuts once when I was a kid. I remember her putting powdered sugar in one small paper bag, and cinnamon sugar in another, and I got to help her by shaking the warm donuts in sugar.

I don't have a good recipe, though.

Jam doughnuts are on my 'things to do list' so I'm afraid I can't really help you neither.

I'm going to try one of Anna Olson's recipes as she really is an expert when it comes to baking.

I love doughnuts and I could eat a whole pack.

Anna Olson is a great idea!

Yes, they certainly are delicious. I've invited my old roommates over just to make sure we don't eat them all!

She is fabulous ! I have actually recorded the show where she makes jam doughnuts onto my Sky Box !

I'm not inviting anyone over when I make them.

Chef Chloe has a vegan donut recipe. I've not tried it myself yet, but everything else of hers that I have made has been spot on.

 

[Renee1]

I trust Chloe. That'll be the one!

Thanks, Freesia! I googled (obviously) but am more interested in something someone has tried before because it's new territory for me and I don't want to just try anything.

There are so many different recipes for doughnuts. A doughnut has to has to be made with yeast and than fried if not it's a cake.

Probably true. It is good to have deep fried donuts. I think it would be nice to have a bakiing recipe too though. If you felt like something donut like but was too lazy to knead dough and operate the deep frier then they could be useful.

I also have a habit of having dozens of recipes for something...

The reason why I like them is that they are fried. I don't fancy a baked doughnut because it just doesn't taste like one.

Ive never had a baked donut tbh. But there are 2 deep fried recipes I posted.

I tend to like short cuts as I dont have my own kitchen to cook in/limited time. So I would opt for baked, but if I didnt have that problem I would make fried.

Understandable.

I have and I didn't like it as it tasted more like a cake.

Did both cake and yeast donuts because after I'd done up the yeast batter, I realized I really wanted cake ones. Both are excellent. Ended up just sort of winging it and making up recipes based on a few different ones.

Did you manage to eat them all ? Well done !
