been lookin for a decent recipe for ages,seems to be all crapy US recepies on the net

in all seriousness i would not bother trying to make doughnuts at home. you just can't improve on flavour or price of the commercial stuff.

disagree mate used to make them years ago and they were ace

just cant remember the bloody recipe

**wizer** · 24th August 2006

so how did you cook them? in a fryer? how did u make the holes? or did you make a 'stiff' batter?

I've not tried using one myself but there was a doughnut maker posted in Biggy7's a few days back.

725g flour
70g sugar
25g baking powder
1 packet vanilla sugar (about 1 TBS or a few drops of vanilla essence)
500g water

Mix all ingredients at room temperature.
Dough should not be too liquid, but tear off the mixing spoon easily.
If necessary, add some more water or flour.

You can use plain sugar if you like

Here's a simple recipe I use and they taste great....

1. Get 2 slices of bread and remove the crust
2. Cut them diagonally to make 2 triangles from each slice
3. Put a dollop of jam in the centre of 2 slices and put another slice on top, so you will hve jam sanwiches, make sure that the james doesn't come to the edge tho.

4. In a bowl mix some flower and water to make a better - the consistency is up to you.
5. Dip the jam sanwiches in the batter and deep fry turnig during cooking.
6. Leave to cool and sprinkle with sugar.

Sorry Lin, I just dont see how that recipe improves on commercially availible doughnuts.

tbh i'd rather use Azphyxi8's recipe

look around your area and try and find a "dinky donuts" stand then nick it at night, they are fucking lovely
