Frosted Doughnuts

These yeast-risen doughnuts are a bit more dense than our tender Cake Doughnuts, but equally as tasty! With a biscuit like texture, they are perfect for dunking in a cold glass of milk or hot cup of tea.

Once the dough is mixed, place in a greased bowl and lightly spray top with cooking oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour.

 

If you don’t have a donut cutter, use 2 circle cutter that are an inch in diameter different.

For the vanilla glaze, ensure that the mixture is not too thin. The goal is to get the icing thick enough that that it won’t drip once dipped. If choosing to drizzle a second color icing over the dipped donut, you don’t need to wait until the frosting sets, you can drizzle it over immediately.

  1. I am still hankering for filled donuts. Boston cream type and raspberry. I even would prefer to fry some vs baking. I feel like if I could “just have one” I would feel so much better!!

  2. I just finished working on a delicious pastry cream that would be perfect for filling Boston cream-style donuts! Look for that recipe in my Berries & Stars Pastries (coming out the day before the 4th of July!). Our Mini Cake Doughnut recipe would be perfect for deep frying, but you’d need one of those doughnut batter dispensers. Surprisingly that’s a kitchen gadget I don’t have…hmmmmmm…I may just have to get one now!

  3. You can check out our Guide to Dairy & Egg Substitutions for some ideas on what you can substitute the eggs with. Since every type of substitute has its own unique taste and texture, what one person likes another may not (that’s why I’m not recommending something specific 🙂
