Good morning!! So I mentioned in another thread on here that I was going to be making donuts this weekend and I wanted to share my experience with you :) Over the last 2 weeks I came up with 57 donut ideas! Maybe this could turn into a restaurant some day, I think there's definitely a market for it in my town, we only have one place that does homemade donuts year round and they're very good but pretty traditional, I have some pretty creative ideas but I started off with some more safer flavors... strawberry glazed and peanut butter pie! The PB pie ones came out good but they're soooo rich. I used a homemade PB frosting that my mom gave me the recipe for, she's been making it for years and everyone loves it. For the filling I did a homemade chocolate peanut butter pudding but I think next time I might just go straight up chocolate pudding. I did oreo crumbs on top since PB pie usually has an oreo crust. The strawberry ones could have been better, I the berries themselves weren't that great since they're out of season and I think the quality of the glaze suffered because of it, next time I might try adding some strawberry jam in to amp up the flavor a little.
here's the dough recipe I used:
https://www.blessthismessplease.com/pioneer-womans-glazed-donuts/
There's a lot of butter in it so it was a pretty rich dough. Last night when I made it I was a little nervous because it was so sticky but it set up perfectly overnight. I let the donuts rise again for an hour though after I cut them and it stuck to the wet towels I used to cover them, so the donuts came out kinda rustic looking lol. I'd be down to try this recipe again sometime but I think next weekend I am going to try a different recipe.
I used an electric skillet for this and it worked perfectly!

The recipe said it would make 24 donuts but I only ended up with 19. I went and delivered a bunch to some friends and family so I only got to eat one of each. I decided to surprise some friends and show up and leave boxes of donuts on their porches but many of my friends have dogs that act as alarm systems lol, I ended up making my one friend get out of the shower :D Hopefully more to come next weekend! I think I'm gunna try doing cake donuts next time!
They look amazing!

Like WOW, what a total bummer. Anyway, unlike all you wonderful ladies, I need my beauty sleep so sweet dreams to one and all.
Those do look and sound good Maddie. You should check out our local Portland donut shop Voodoo Donuts. Their bacon and mapltopped doughnut is the BOMB!.

TGI Fridays used to have some donut holes that would come with this amazing, AMAZING, dipping sauce that was like... a honey something or other. I can't remember what for the life of me. Was a rich, creamy yellow color that I have never really seen anything else have except some honey mustards(and no, it wasn't honey mustard donut dipping sauce).
Travel back in time, find that recipe, and make that flavor.
Please open up a restaurant I will be there [emoji899] looks so good!!

I did another batch this morning! This time I did cake donuts and I'm not happy with the recipe I used. the taste was alright but they were pretty dense and tough. I think the toughness came from me overworking the dough. It was way too sticky so I had to add a lot more flour to it and really pound it in to get it to not stick to the parchment paper I rolled it out on. I did cinnamon sugar ones, honey graham ones, and "stressle". My friend makes a snack where you put a Rolo candy on a pretzel and then put a peanut butter M&M on top and melt em enough so they stick together, and she calls this a Stressle because they're the pretzels you eat when you're stressed lol, so I turned it into a donut! I did a chocolate ganache with crushed pretzels and then caramel and peanut butter drizzles, yum! For the honey graham ones I made a honey glaze and then I topped them with graham cracker crumbs that I mixed a little butter into. I think next weekend I'm gunna do another batch of yeast donuts and then I'm gunna take a break for a while, I kinda feel like garbage right now

Ahem, have you by chance seen Attack of the Killer Donuts??????????

I love a good, fresh doughnut.
I also like those cinnamon sugar topped or yeast twists. I guess those are pastries and perhaps not officially doughnuts. But I think of them as a doughnut.
ok so I've been a little overwhelmed with donuts lately, this is my last batch for a few weeks lol. I'm leaving off on a great menu though!!
Church on Sundae- vanilla cream filled donut with chocolate ganache, sprinkles or peanuts, cherry, and a "communion" Nilla wafer :D :D :D
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27336961_10155091879666373_1471315528513423288_n.jpg?oh=f54c75139acfd1dc7fd2dfbabe8dbb30&oe=5B1893BA)
Pineapple Upside Down Cake Donut- cake donut with brown sugar glaze, caramelized pineapple, and a cherry on top. I tried to shape these ones so the hole was narrow enough for a cherry to sit on it and it worked, yay!
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27336380_10155091788491373_5856475979487021807_n.jpg?oh=4ad911b9d4edc14c19c39117fb52e920&oe=5B13319C)
Almond- cake donuts with almond flavored glaze and crushed almonds on top
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27459421_10155091789121373_1117437106429215651_n.jpg?oh=179827ab029a08f716a5cba9f2f9dc54&oe=5B1F8BF1)
Lemon tea- yeast donuts with a lemonade glaze with a little iced tea snuck in
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27336438_10155091789276373_8804805019241661314_n.jpg?oh=986089cf528cf0e5b6e94ee96cac52c2&oe=5AD92FF4)
So I did yeast dough and cake dough this time, the cake dough was still the same issue as last time, it was too tough and dense, I need to find a way to use a batter instead of a dough for the cake donuts, I think that will help. I like the way the yeast donuts came out this time, they weren't as rich and it worked out better, but I had issues getting the dough to rise. last time the dough rose in the fridge overnight, this time it didn't rise while in the fridge, I had to leave it out for an hour this morning and then let the dough rise again after I cut it into donuts. I used a smaller cutter for the donuts with the holes in them and I think for yeast donuts the bigger cutter works better. as for the flavors, the Sundae one came out great! the filling seemed like more of a frosting than a cream though, I'll try a different recipe for that next time, but I nailed the ganache. the almond glaze came out very good and the lemon tea one tasted good when I made it but as it got absorbed into the donut it seemed to lose a lot of flavor. it was very lemony, which I liked, but the tea got lost, I need a way to amp up that part of the flavor. the pineapple ones were good but I think they could be better, but I don't know how to improve them just yet, I'll think of something though!
Your doughnuts look sooooooo good!

Poor Maddie, she'll be freaky out when any helicopter flies near her now :)
Maddie sure makes quite a variety of doughnuts.
PASTRIES... Yummy
I made some yummie pastries to bring to a breakfast meeting with a club that I belong to.
Cinnamon Rolls, Butterhorns filled with raspberry jelly and Butterhorns topped with a creme frosting and both topped with roasted slivered almonds.
I couldn't help not having a couple when they were still warm out of the oven... I gotta taste test them before I bring them to the meeting!!!
