I’d like to come back here and report that I made these doughnuts last night, and hoooo-mygosh!! Literally thee BEST doughnut I’ve ever made at home. & I’ve gotta say, I’ve tried a lot of the “best homemade doughnut” recipes, and they all just left me disappointed. Either the flavor was too off, or the texture was wayyy off, and not at all how a doughnut should be. I should say that I’m pretty skilled with bread making, so I don’t feel like it was any user error for the other recipes. These were SO soft, and so fluffy! I made a homemade pastry cream to fill them with. So phenomenal. Honestly I can’t believe Erin just gave away this amazing recipe! What a generous person!! 😂 Now, a few tips here: The dough IS a pretty wet/sticky dough and that can make people scared to work with it. Do not add any more flour than the recipe calls for, or you’ll end up with tough, dry doughnuts. To make it easier to work with, you can refrigerate for about an hour or two after the initial one hour rise. This will make it much easier to work with. Or just make them the night before and let them rise in the fridge overnight. & As Erin said, don’t flour your work surface too much either. Everyone should seriously try this. I can’t recommend them enough. & I so enjoy watching Erin, she’s so awesome and explains things well!

aliyah p I believe cake donuts (donuts without yeast) have a higher tendency to be greasy if you don’t keep your oil at the proper temperature. I’ve done it myself! I didn’t find that these were greasy at all! Just make sure to keep your temp above 350! That helps with the greasiness.

I loved my mother dearly but she was the worst cook. She was a WWII bride and married so young that she had not learned how to cook from my grandmother who was a superb Southern cook. One of the few things my mother did once that was delicious was homemade donuts. She wouldn’t make them again because she said it was too messy. I can see now why a young mother of four would say that! I have always been afraid to try but having seen your excellent tutorial, I think I will! Thanks!!

Made Erin's donut recipe and the look on my daughter's face was priceless!!! It was an "OMG" look, and hubby had 2 donuts. They were fantastic!!! Thanks Erin for sharing your wonderful recipe!
This has been THEE best recipe and explanation of donut making. I tried so many times, so many recipes but could never just get them right. I changed absolutely nothing.
Erin and Shereen need to combine their talents for the best cooking show EVER!
Love the use of a stand mixer and the vibrant colored fruit glazes. Thanks for sharing your grandmother's treasured recipe. Josh's reaction is so adorable!
I want to see more Erin! She is so knowledgeable and has a really nice touch and intuition.
More Erin please! I just found her here on KZread and she is just wonderful!
Discovered this channel and Erin recently. Now I'm binge watching all her videos. Wooohoo!!
love Erin's presentation, professionalism and love for baking. She explains everything! Can't wait to try this. thank you!
Imagine being her husband: "Babe, I want donuts..." Erin: "I got you. Give me 30 minutes".

I prolly just need to make sure to know some limits for health concerns.

Hi Erin. Greetings from the UK! Love the video tutorials! Any chance you can do an episode on baked donuts as opposed to fried donuts?Thanks 😊
Your glazes are so beautiful! Thank you, Erin.

She reminds me so much of my aunt! I adore her and would watch her on a series!
I love the way you make everything look so easy!! Every time I watch your videos I feel like, I can do it.
wait! Did i just learn that its the same recipe for filled doughnuts? I love filled donuts and have never made them like this. thought they needed a sturrdy choux dough, so I never make them. Thanks for sharing your family recipe, and thanks for your book The Book On Pies. I share your passion, coming from 3 generations of, i don't know if you'd call them "professional" pie makers, but me grandmother remembers sitting on the flour can while her mother made pies for all the restaraunts close by back in 1915. Then, grandma also made pies for everyone and my mom could hold her own and feed the neighborhood. In a small town in Arizona she and my dad were the only ones getting any handyman work done on a timely basis, and when a neighbor asked the handyman why he did mom and dads before hers, the handy man said, "because Carolyn always has pie!"
This is awesome! And thank you for the alternative options for people without donut cutters, etc! I would watch a whole channel of her!
Erin, my husband and I just made these donuts yesterday after watching your video. I LOVE that it doesn't take allll day to make these, and doesn't make too many for just 2 people. OMG!!!!!!!! Best donuts EVER!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. What is the best way to STORE these delicious donuts without them getting all wet in a container? I have never found a good way to store donuts, they are either dry or wet.
This WOMAN is soooo AMAZING! She is jist giving me a Joy! She is Happy, so friendly, kind, lovely, just please tell me she have. A channel!! Lover her :)!

This was so easy to follow! I loved all the tips on frying, other videos I watched on doughnut recipes don't have as much useful info on frying them.

Just Came Across Your Videos Erin And I Have Watched You Now For Three Hours. I'm Loving The Way You Teach And Explain Your Baking Techiques And Give Your Personal Opinions And Techniques On Why You Choose To Do Things Certain Ways To Make Your Recipes A Success !! My Mother Was A Teacher In Elementary Education And Also She Minored In Home Economics / With A Math And Sciece Degree !! I'm A Great Cook And Know How To Bake. I Took Homemaking In School Every Year From 7th Grade Through 12th grade. I Was Always Considered Each Year One Of The Best Cooks In Class. Also , My Mother And Grandmother Were The Best Teachers . I Lived In The Kitchen With Them And Loved Listening To Their Stories From Their Past To The Present And I Always Questioned Them About How To Make Some Of Their Recipes , Which Were Sometimes Given To Me. A Lot Of Recipes Were Not , Because They Only Cooked By Sight And No Measuring Were Never The Way They Cooked Or Baked. My Mother Passed Last Year And I Had To Cook The First Thanksgiving And Xmas Dinner About Five Years Ago , Because My Mother Had Alzheimer's And I Also Cared For Her. If It Was Not For Me Lingering In The Kitchen With Both My Mom And Grandmother For Years I Would Not Have Known What And How To Began A Holiday Meal. Everything Turned Out Great And Mom's Reply Was " This Is Very Good " !! You Are The Best Erin And I've Enjoyed Your Videos And Recipes.You Come Across As A Well Spoken Teacher , Which Keeps The Attention Of Your Audience . You Really Do Need Your Own Show . The Food Network Needs You To Draw More Viewers In Order To Learn And Not Compete All The Time For Money . People Would Like To Learn And Not See So Many Young And Older Chefs Throw Food And Baking Techniques Together In Competition . I Loved Your Techniques In Making Puff Pastry !! ❤❤ I Will Be Making These Donuts This Weekend !!Thank You So Much !! 🎂🧁🍰🥮🍞🥐🥖🥨🥯🍕🥧🧁🍨🍦🥠🥟🍠🍋🍊🍎🥭🥞🍓🍐🍉🍇🥭🥝🥥🌶🌭🥪🌮🥙🥚🥣🍭🥄🔪🍽🍴🍵🍶🍹🥛☕🍼🍮🍪🍩🧁🍫
