Attempted donuts
posted by joeli under failures
Not everything I make comes out good. Most of the time if it's rubbish it doesn't make it to this blog, because really who can be bothered to take pictures of something that you know is crap? But this time I took the photos before any were tried (and we discovered how bad they came out) and so you get to see my failure.
So, I tried to make donuts the other day and they came out pretty bad. I didn't want to fry them because I'm generally against frying so I found a recipe for baked donuts. I should have known these wouldn't come out like I wanted. I wanted a nice cakey donut. These turned out much more like cinnamon rolls texture and they kind of looked like bagels. To be honest my chocolate donut cupcakes tasted more like donuts than these did.
I made regular iced donuts and also I filled the "holes" with jam to make jammie donuts.
Don't get me wrong, they were tasty, but decidedly not donuts. They were pretty gross cold but after a quick zap in the microwave they were back to being tasty. It was an experience but would I make them again? No way. The result was not worth the amount of effort that went into these.
I'm not going to post the recipe. If you want to try baked donuts just search for it. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

Well they look like bread rolls with frosting on them. But you know, I would eat them anyway. Sometimes when you craze something sweet, sugar on anything can tast good
