Close to home, but the dough MUST rest a good hour in fridge BEFORE deep frying so it'll PUFF up!

I'm not a 'sweets' person so I can't say if these are better than the average donut or sopapilla. BUT I love to cook and I like this recipe because it allows me to be creative with the shapes and toppings. ....I made mine small and dusted them with powdered sugar and then dipped into chocolate sauce.

Great recipe - followed it to the letter, but I found the dough too soft to keep my shapes consistent, when putting the in the deep fryer. Other than that, they were a big hit at the 'Nawlins themed baby shower. I will be making these again in the near future. This is a very easy recipe.

If memory serves me well these are as good as Cafe Du Monde. The recipe is easy to follow & I like it as is. It really does make a lot. Will halve the recipe next time. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome goodness is all I can say. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I just followed the recipe and added cinnamon powder together with the confectioner sugar in a ziploc bag for dusting.

These were awesome! I am a fan of using my breadmaker so I mixed the sugar, shortening (except I used margarine instead because I was out of shortening), boiled water, etc... and the extra water you are supposed to dissolve the yeast in all together and then the flour on top and the yeast on top of that and set my breadmaker on the dough cycle. When it had 30 minutes left I popped the dough in the fridge for the last 30mins. They came out to be perfect little pillows of deliciousness!

LOVE this recipe! I wanted to make homemade doughnuts and this was the first one I tried. I didn't have evaporated milk so I used fresh whole milk and they still turned out perfectly. Looks like my search is over already. Now I just have to find the perfect custard to squeeze inside and I'll never have to buy doughnuts again. Thanks for sharing!

Thoroughly enjoyed making AND eating these :) I was in the mood for cinnamon so I added that to the batter and then dusted some with powdered sugar and some with cinnamon and sugar mixed. Very good! Makes a TON so I made three ziploc bags with twenty a piece in them to give to the neighbors. We still have a lot left! Oh, the directions don't say to flip them while they're cooking but I did to get an even cooking on each side.
