These were really good. Not at all like a fried doughnut, but still tasty! Wish I had a donut baking pan, because mine were odd shaped and pooled together. Once I had started this recipe, I realized I was missing an egg, so I used half of a banana (mashed) that was mixed with 1/2 a tsp of baking powder (thanks to AR's subs list). This enhanced the flavor of the doughnuts too! For a chocolate glaze, I used another reviewers advice and heated/mixed 1/4 cup milk, 1-2 tsp Vanilla, 3T of cocoa powder, & 2 cups confectionary sugar. Then, I drizzled over the doughnuts. The chocolatey sweetness of the glaze complimented the spiced doughnut well, since the doughnut is not too sweet.

Very mild flavor, but the texture was decent, i.e., not too heavy. Overall, nothing to rave about. Will have to find another recipe for our donut maker.

My 12 yo DD and her book club friends made these today. They were a hit! Light, fluffy, and so yummy right out of the oven. I made the following changes: subbed lemon juice with plain rice milk for the buttermilk and Earth Balance for the butter. Also, they frosted them in a dark chocolate frosting. We will certainly make these again.

Good except for::: Doesn't hold "doughnut" shape well AT ALL. I spooned out the batter (which I had to add 1 c. more flour into...) and it still spread over the span of the 3 mins it took me to spoon out all the batter - which was a lot, not a bad thing - and me putting into the oven. I subbed maple syrup vs honey as someone else suggested. Cut nutmeg in half , next time I won't use any, didn't have cloves either. Topped with a pinch of cinnamon & sugar along with cream cheese frosting. YUM!! I like this recipe especially because they're baked over fried
