I love to bake! This is an amazing recipe. I’ve made 2 batches and they are consistently delicious. Love the consistency and texture. I will try with gluten-free flour and let you know how they turn out! Thank you!!

Hi!
These are great!
I, literally, just finished making these donuts, as a treat for the Memorial Day weekend.
I made mine without the chocolate, per “Grandma John’s…,” but used 1 cup less flour than Grandma John’s, the same amount that this recipe uses (I baked mine, per this recipe, so the ingredients came together like a thickish cake batter, with less flour, unlike Grandma John’s, which uses 1 cup more flour, and requires handling the ingredients with hands, and kneading before frying).
I also used the recipe for “Easy Confection Sugar,” and the glaze came out great, too. I made my own butter milk, with about 3/4 of a cup of milk, with 1 stick of butter, and I used the remaining 1/4 milk, in the glaze.
I just wanted to say, thank you for sharing these. I really enjoyed making these donuts, and they taste great too.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Stay Safe! And, wishing you, and everyone else (the World, the Universe) “Get Well Soon!”

So glad to hear you enjoyed them.

Do you think this recipe would work in an air fryer?
Jessica Fisher
I have never tried it, but if your air fryer is big enough to hold a donut pan, it’s worth a shot. Please let me know how it goes!

Can’t wait to hear what you think!

I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago, and I finally bought the donut pans and made these dough nuts. Yum!! Thank you for developing this recipe and posting it!

This post came at the best time! I just bought myself a mini donut pan! And, I haven’t even started looking for recipes yet. I’m definitely starting with this recipe! Love chocolate, can hardly wait!

THIS post prompted me to put donut pans on my Christmas wish list! I just made 2 dozen for my family of 8! I used the recipe on the packaging for a spiced donut (delish!) and will be making a batch of your triple chocolate as soon as I get some mini chips!

Thanks Jessica for writing this post and sharing this recipe. This is my second or maybe third time reading it and I have to say thanks. My baby asks for donuts about every other day and it makes it difficult to say “no”. We live across the street from a 24 hour donut shop and we smell them cooking about 3 times a day. Now that I think about it, donuts might be his comfort food, he seems to ask for them when he’s upset about not getting something else or things aren’t going his way. Anyhoo, thanks again for the recipe. I too have one of those pans and have yet to break it in!
Jessica Fisher
I cannot imagine living across the street from a donut shop! Yikes!
Amy
Oh please, please, please post more donut recipes!!!! I use my donut pans all the time!
Jessica Fisher
Ha! It’s on my radar. 🙂

I make fried donuts once a year for Hannukah and I agree it is really messy, never tried making cake donuts though.
Jen
These look great! I also just joined the doughnut party and have the same pan. I think I will give these a try for Saturday morning. The boys will be thrilled!
