The Daring Kitchen must be a mind reader. I've been wanting to make my own donuts (or doughnuts) forever. Interesting fact: donuts might just be my favorite food, and sometimes I dream about owning a bakery...though I may need some practice before making that dream a reality. (and to workout quite a bit more). My husband loved the results, but I would like to experiment a little more with different recipes/glazes.
I chose to use the Alton Brown recipe that can be found here.
This was my first shot at deep frying anything, so I was a little nervous, but overall it went very well. I did have a little difficulty keeping the oil at the correct temperature. For some it was too hot, causing them to fry too quickly, and others it dropped to low, allowing the donuts to absorb too much oil. I'll have to keep a better eye on the thermometer next time!
I rolled some in cinnamon and sugar and topped others with chocolate. I found the chocolate glaze recipe with a quick Google search here, but I think I will try a different recipe next time. It tasted fine, but not amazing.
Here is the yummy inside:
It was a great way to spend a lazy day. Next time, however, I'll invite a few people over, because this recipe makes WAY too many donuts for two people to eat.
