Describe the crumb you're looking for.
I use AP flour for either raised or cake type donuts and they are tender light and delicious. I have never used Bread Flour and would guess the donuts would be heavier and chewy - not my version of a good donut.
Has great cake doughnut recipe that I used to use all the time (the yeasted recipe is very good too). These are realy delicious. this is from the 1983 book. Here's how it goes:
Vegetable oil
3-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tblsp shortening
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
Heat oil (2-3 inches) in deep-fat fryer or heavy kettle to 375 degrees. Beat 1-1/2 cups of flour and remaining ingredients in a large mixer blow on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour, turn dough onto well-floured cloth-covered board; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Roll gentily 3/8 inch thick.
Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they risk to surface. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from oil; do not prick doughnuts. Drain on paper towels. Serve plain, sugared or frosted.
@ mini oven dont realy know what sorta doughnuts she is wanting to make but any recipes are great.
@ aw thanks for that one. i passed it on to her and will try it myself as well.
thanks dough nut...cant go wrong getting a doughnut recipe from someone bearing he name..haha thanks
