Doughnuts...must make doughnuts. A Winchell's like cake doughnut. This is what I woke up thinking yesterday morning. I don't even know why, but I had to do it. Now, since I didn't plan this thing out I wanted a fast easy recipe. And so the internet search began. I kept thinking I had found the recipe, then I would scroll down to the bottom and find that it needed 1 to 4 hours in the fridge before making it.
Argg! I want doughnuts now, not in 4 hours. (Yes, I was a little impatient. Sometimes instant gratification is a good thing.)
Well, the search continued until I found this recipe for Cake Doughnuts. I set to work right away. This recipe is so easy to make and the flavor of the doughnuts plain is great. After frying and cooling for a bit I coated half of the doughnuts with powdered sugar and the other half with cinnamon sugar (3/4 to 1 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon).
The recipe makes 2 dozen doughnuts which meant we had a lot of leftovers. After the extra doughnuts cooled I put them away in an airtight container. This morning I ate one and I am not sure, but I think they are even better today then they were yesterday. Either way, this is a super easy recipe with great flavor and I will be using it in the future. Happy doughnutting!
