For our engagement party months ago we got some super sweet donut moulded pans! I finally broke them out and got baking! The packaging had an actual recipe which was pretty much cake batter. The shape was perfect but taste wise it was a little dense.. not as fluffy as real ones.. but then again.. aren't real ones pretty much fried dough? There was no deep frying for these ones. The original recipe called for buttermilk but I redid them a few days later with just a basic sponge cake mix and they were much better. I actually realised that I had no icing sugar after I had begun baking so instead I invented my own peanut butter and honey drizzle icing for it plus sprinkles on top. Pretty tasty! Next on the list of things to make: ninja bread men!
These look good, and ninja bread men sound fantastic hehe.
ReplyDeleteYou're on a baking roll!
ReplyDeleteYummo! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious. I've been debating about buying a donut pan. I hate to have another specialty pan cluttering my kitchen, but on the other hand I keep seeing people making really cute donuts! Maybe someday when I have a bigger more space...
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. I wouldn't mind making my own doughnuts.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make the deep-fried cake doughnuts complete with doughnut holes once a year. We would roll them in sugar, sugar and cinnamon, or confectioners sugar. She dipped enough for one each in her own "secret" honey glaze. It was a Sunday afternoon tradition in late February or early March, when we were fed up with winter. Thanks for writing something that reminded me of that!
