Just made these doughnuts and they were great!! It was quick, easy and made about a dozen and half doughnuts and holes. Even tried my hand at filling some. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Next time we'll try glazed. Probably won't by store doughnuts again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I thought these were better as they sat. I made a powdered sugar glaze and put on them, and the cinnamon flavor came out more after they sat over night.

Oh my! These were super quick and SO delicious! I just rolled them in cinnamon/sugar after frying. Next time I will get more creative with frostings...maybe a chocolate genache or something!

My only complaint about this recipe is that I didn't have any cider to go with the finished product!! ***I followed the directions to the letter, and I had no problems. The dough was a bit sticky to handle, but coating my hands and the surface with flour did the trick. (To keep the floury mess contained, I lightly greased a glass cutting board, the floured it. The grease helps the flour spread out evenly, so you don't get sticky spots where there was to little flour, or big floury spots on your dough where there was too much. Then the cutting board just went in the dishwasher-voila!! No nasty flour mess to clean off the counter!)***I used the scraps and the doughnut holes to test my oil, since I was doing it on the stove, and without a thermometer. At first the oil was too cool, and I wound up with some very greasy doughnuts, then it was a bit too hot, and they turned dark and crispy. But I eventually figured it out, and I was glad to have tested on the scraps, instead of having a whole mess of screwed up doughnuts on my hands!***Overall, I don't know that the time and effort was necessarily worth it, since I can get cinnamon sugar cake doughnuts at the bakery down the street, but it was a fun experiment, and a great recipe. They came out wonderfully.

These were easy and really hit the spot for what I was craving! One thing I did add, so that they would remind me more of my Mom's cake doughnuts, was add 1/4 tsp. of mace. It gave her doughnuts that 'special something.' I omitted the nutmeg, since mace is quite close in flavor (from the same 'nut').

I give this recipe a 5 for the ease. This was my first time to make donuts and I think they turned out great! I really wasnt able to make donut b/c they dough was sticky and not firm enough; I just make some holes. After putting them on a paper towel for a minute, I rolled them in some cinn/sugar. Delicious!!

I made the dough the night before and used a 1oz cookie scoop to make doughnut holes per someone else's review. Well 1oz was WAY to big & in order to not end up w/ raw dough in the middle I had to burn the outside. I ended up make 1/2oz balls and even still the outside ended up very crunchy by the time the middle was cooked. I rolled them in cinnamon/sugar mix however they were sweet enough plain. If they weren't so done on the outside they would have been perfect. I will be trying other recipes before I come back to this one.

I have never made donuts before but thought this recipe was super easy and very good. Like some other reviewers, we added flour when rolling out and punched up the spices a little bit. They were light (for cake doughnuts) and crispy and not a bit greasy. We added a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk, but they were equally good without it.

Wow...this is my first try at doughnuts ever, and these came out perfect! The only thing this doesn't say is to refridgerate the dough first. I did for about 20 min. Makes it so much easier to roll out!

I've made doughnuts before and while there were good, they were not as good as other cake doughnuts. I get that this is a basic recipe, but even still there was something missing.

I made doughnut holes instead of regular donuts...they are a bit greasy. I added a tsp. of vanilla, and am glad I did but these aren't that great...even my toddler doesn't like them much. I ended up throwing away 2 dozen of the uncooked holes because I just don't think they're worth the effort.

I thought this recipe was fine as is. They remninded me very much of the dougnuts that my mom made when I was a kid. I'd never made doughnuts before and these were easy and took no time at all. I did the same in rolling mine in cinnamon and sugar when they cooled off. If you are looking for a PLAIN recipe, then this is a good one to start with.
