Is this AP flour or self rising?
Kimi Immordino says
I agree with you
Kim Lange says
You can use whatever kind you want. I like to use vanilla Greek yogurt, but plain is ok as well.

Made these today using a square donut pan. The came out perfect and are delicious! However this time instead of the glaze I used sour cherries, made a drizzle from the juice, and then sprinkled some powdered sugar. So made them more like individual cakes.

approximately 10 Huda! These are so yummy! I hope you enjoy!!
Huda says
I had a quick question. How many donuts does this recipe make?
ChocolaTess says
Sue, did they turn out alright? You need a fairly big hole for the dough to come out of the bag.
Sue says
Made these doughnuts today. I was surprised how thick the batter was. I almost added more almond milk, however, wanted to see how they turned out. Very difficult to get through pastry bag. Will make again and add a little more almond milk next time.
