[@marksharp3337]

These are fantastic. The one lesson I learned was how quickly the cold dough can impact the temperature of the oil in the pot. My first batch took a little longer than 3 minutes to get it to the right color. Before my second batch I made sure the oil came back up to temp. and I was a lot more attentive to the heat to keep the oil between 350-375. Much better results.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Thanks for sharing that experience and thanks for trying

[@KenBoldt]

I just made these with my daughter, and had the same lesson learned about letting the oil come back up to temp. I also think we could have rolled our dough a little thinner. we ended up with THICK doughnuts, but hey, I'm not complainin' 🤣 Thanks Bri for the awesome recipe!

[@blacknapalm2131]

Unfortunately the blueberry's water content is too high and it will just cause the donuts to either fall apart or have 'wet' spots inside where it hasn't cooked fully. So better to serve the donuts with some blueberry's on the side if that is your thing.

You, Chef John, and Joy of Baking are easily the 3 best cooking channels on KZbin (although nobody beats you when it comes to joyously dancing while eating). Why? Because you each have down-to-earth personalities and you explain the rationale behind everything you do! I've already made 3 or 4 of your recipes and they were all spectacular, and I definitely plan on trying these sometime soon. Thank you for all of the great content. It's been very cool to see your channel grow!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

That’s great company. Thanks for watching!

[@marksharp3337]

I'm happy you mentioned Joy of Baking. I watched her cake doughnut video too. My take away was the chocolate icing. Our second batch of these I cut Brian's glaze in half for six and chocolate icing for the other six. The grandkids especially liked decorating the chocolate ones. :-)

[@saltedllama2759]

Cake donuts are my favorite, so I always luck out when getting a variety box. Everyone takes the other crap, I get the cake donut. I'm the same with cake - for some reason, everyone likes the corner pieces with (way too much) frosting. I prefer four tall sides of cake, so I take the middle slices. I let everyone fight over the frosting-heavy garbage, and I'm left with the gold. Sorry, but when cake is done properly, frosting is an accent (as it should be), not the feature.

[@sheepish2159]

I'm the same way unless it's cream cheese or swiss meringue buttercream. Those are to die for. Unfortunately most of the time people use buttercream, or that cheap sugary icing store bought cakes have. I think it's made with just sugar and shortening.

I made these yesterday. Made two batches of dough and got 54 mini donghns out of it. Probably could have squeezed 6-8 more out, but didn't want to re-roll too often. I frosted some in a raspberry glazed, lemon cream glazed, chocolate glazed and maple bacon topped. Let me tell ya....they were TAAAS-TY! Crispy on the outside and crazy moist inside. All from a stupid easy dough. Thanks, Bri!!

[@Maplenr]

Best recipe of yours I've tried. These were fantastic. Tip of anyone else - I put the glaze on the stove on melt and kept it at about 90-95 degrees. Kept it from thickening (like Brian's did)...so I didn't need to dilute it at all. When i dipped them, it crystallized really well.

Thank you for all the work you put into these videos. The ONLY modification I made was adding pure vanilla extract to the glaze. I added 25 grams of the extract, then decreased the milk by that much. My husband took some to work to share. I am thankful for that because I ate more than I should have!! I'll add blueberry flavoring to the dough the next time I make these. The texture was so nice, and the glaze set so perfectly! Keep up the great work! Your apple fritters are next on my list!!!

[@natecook06]

I really appreciate that you’re not afraid to use a stand mixer. All the other internet chefs I follow don’t like to use expensive tools, but most people who’ve had a wedding registry have one of these. I’ve had mine for three years and had only ever used it to make sausage. Your mulitpurpose pizza dough recipe got me to use my stand mixer for dough for the first time, and it was by far the best pan pizza dough I’ve ever made. I might have to try these if I have a holiday with extra family in town!

A frosted rosemary lemon zest donut is my absolute favorite.

[@xaosbob]

So I just made these. The texture is fantastic, crisp crenellations outside, tender and caky (and yes, moist!) inside. They're a little bland for my taste, but nothing a bit of extract or cinnamon in the dough and some orange juice concentrate (the frozen stuff, but not if using cinnamon in the dough, yuck) in the glaze won't fix. A great foundational recipe! For everyone: Don't overwork the dough! Leftovers from the second rollout can be smushed together and put into the oil. Ugly as hell, but the texture more than makes up for it.

Blueberry cake donuts are my favorite.

[@juliorosado1921]

Nice video. If you read the comments, try this out, im sure its going to take those donuts to the next level: Get some unrefined white cane sugar (its a dull off white, i've seen it pretty often in supermarkets nowadays). Use a food processor to get it to as fine a powder as you can and sift it. Use similar ratios as your glaze but add to it some 7-12 yr aged rum to taste. Treat it just as you would vanilla extract. The resulting glaze is incredible. It has a not-so-faint hit of "cane" flavor that goes really well with baked goods. Its hard to describe the exact taste. Its somewhere between vanilla and french vanilla

The plastic tube of an empty tesa roller is a pretty good donut hole cutter (washed of course) and I'm sure there's something circleshaped in your kitchen for the big donut cut too.
