After being disappointed with peanut oil last time, I decided to actually follow the recipe's suggestion for oil. Also, instead of making full sized donuts, donut holes seemed like a good choice. This way I could try many coatings without getting too full. I chose Saveur's Powdered Sugar Donut Holes! I used canola oil instead of peanut oil. In addition to powder sugar, I was going to also try out a different glaze and cinnamon sugar coating.
I wasn't disappointed this time. They were great! Or hole lotta awesome! (sorry, bad pun)
The glaze I used was from a family recipe.
Betsy's vanilla glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla
Instead of dipping in the glaze (which I think gets too much on it), I use a pastry brush instead. It worked better than the last time. Plus our friends we had over for dinner both voted that the glazed were actually the best of the three.
Now bake that!
