One of the BEST doughnuts recipe I've done and tasted. Even my 3 years old loves it!

I just made these this afternoon. And, after eating about a half dozen, I almost couldn't stop. That was when I decided to return to this site, sign up. and review them. They were so flavorful and soft and everything I had hoped they would be. I made one slight change with the second time I made these - used brown sugar instead of white sugar. Brown sugar gives the doughnuts a better flavor and texture. I will definitely make these again and again! I spent weeks culling the many doughnut recipes I have acquired and this one looked so right. Not too many eggs, the sugar amount wasn't horrific, so I didn't need to make a lot of changes. I'm not an expert doughnut maker, but I do enjoy baking all my own sweets so I can better control the ingredients. I've already shared these doughnuts with a few friends and they can't believe I've never made doughnuts before - every one of them came out perfect. I made a glaze of 1 cup whipping cream, 1/2 cup of flavored instant coffee powder, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.

This was such an awesome recipe! However, I wanted jelly filled doughnuts so, instead of cutting them as standard doughnuts with a hole in the middle, I kept them whole and then filled them with various jams (including homemade apple butter ... that ended up being my favourite doughnut)!! The dough is absolutely perfect! Also, I followed cheshi's advice and used brown sugar instead of white and that was perfection!
