Willoughby's Donut Shop
Last week, I told you that Mr. Willoughby and I like to try new recipes together. This morning, we decided to try making homemade donuts. We prefer cake donuts to raised donuts, so we used this recipe. They were easy and delicious and it didn't take much longer than a trip to the donut shop. We got 13 donuts, or a baker's dozen, plus a bunch of little donut holes out of one batch. We did alter the recipe a bit by leaving out the cinnamon and nutmeg because we wanted to add a variety of toppings to the end product.
As you can see, we coated some with cinnamon sugar, some with a chocolate glaze and left a few plain. We used our deep fryer, but I'm sure you could improvise with a deep pan, a few inches of oil and a candy thermometer.

Those donuts look terrific! Are you ready for the donut business?!
:)
Yum! I love donuts. The only ones i tried making at home use a canned biscuit.
oh man, I wish I hadn't read this post! I have been having the WORST sweet tooth ALL.DAY.LONG!!!
now fresh donuts are added to my list of desires I can't fullfill!
They look so yummy!
I wish we had a deep fryer... but then I would use it all the time... and that would be bad for my ever expanding waistline I guess!! : )
I have been wanting to make these for a long time. My grandma and I used to do it years ago.
What lovely donuts! Even though I'm stuffed to the gills, I could make room for one or two of them!
We love to cook and bake in our family 9we're actually planning on opening a bakery next year) but we have never made homemade donuts. I remember an attempt at my house growing up...the result was OK but not inspiring. Yours look great!
Would you send some to your friend Christi?
Pretty please?????????
I love donuts and those look wonderful!!!
Donuts! So impressive! I've never made anything like this before. I like the cake donuts too. I am wishing I had one right now, one covered in an orange glaze. When I was a little girl, my dad would take me to the local donut place before church and we would get donut holes and orange juice. Yum Yum.
My mouth is watering looking at those yummy donuts! I'll take a dozen of the chocolate one please :-)

Oh wow, those look just fabulous!!
I just wanted to drop by and thank you for all of your kind words of support during our crisis. Taking the time to check on us really helped keep us sane and I can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.
