HOLY COW! These are wonderful. I made them just on a whim and boy am I glad I did. I used 3 cups of flour and my jumbo mixer with the bread thingy that hardly ever gets used. Guess what? It will now. Thanks so much. Like another reviewer said, "We don't need no stinking Krispy Kreme's!"

These were OK. They were very easy but they did seem a bit....flat. Some of mine that I had worked more (the scraps I kneaded together then cut out others) seemed to raise better. Also-I didn't know how thick to roll. I left them for about 1 hour and they were MUCH better than only 30 min. Texture ended up OK though. Much over 1 hr rising was too much as they ended up not firm enough to work with. I too used almost 3 cups of flour using my mixer with dough hook. I left out the cinnamon as we aren't huge fans. I fried 1-2 at a time in my fry daddy using a skewer to turn and move them. I cut them with my biggest round buscuit cutter (3") and used my apple corer for the holes, it worked great!
I glazed with a simple powdered sugar and milk glaze. I found that warming up the glaze (I put in a double boiler/glass bowl over almost simmering water) made it work great! I was able to dip them then leave on a wire rack to drip off. The taste was OK. Not knocking me over though. I was trying to find one that replicates our local small town bakery. Not quite.

I've never tried scratch yeast donuts until this morning, they were SUPER easy and everyone really liked them. My hubby's only suggestion is that next time I make the dough a little sweeter so I'll add a few more spoons of sugar but I personally loved them as it. I made three kinds out of one batch (which made 20 good size donuts & holes) I did glazed, chocolate glaze and cinnamon sugar.
the glaze was a simple 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla & 2 cups powdered sugar
the chocolate glaze was 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, 2 tablespoon corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, melt in microwave at 30 second intervals till smooth
*uploaded a picture of how they turned out*
