I love doughnuts. LOVE them. Especially Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which I cannot get now that I live in Scotland! I'm originally from Kent and my Dad and his partner work in London, where a Tesco by their station sells Krispy Kremes so occasionally they would come home with a box. I miss that!
I've been wanting to make my own doughnuts for ages but I've been put off by the need to deep fry them. I get off things a lot because I have to deep fry them. Not because of the unhealthy factor, but because I hate using so much oil. I also find the timings tricky. So discovering baked doughnuts was an amazing thing for me. Imagine my disappointment when the recipe I chose failed.
It's probably obvious from the picture that they turned out more like bread rolls than doughnuts. I ended up making two batches because I thought I might have killed the yeast in the first batch, and considering how close together the inside of them were, I believe I did in fact do that. So I made a second, which rose much better and the inside was certainly softer after baking. But it also was more bread roll than doughnut. So disappointing!
The glaze I put on the first batch was quite lovely though. I'll be making it again when I attempt a different doughnut recipe.
