I made these – just because I felt like making something yeasty and pillowy and these are Perfect. I also made your “Oh My God – Doughnuts” last summer, and I must admit…I like these ones better. Pillowy little happy doughnuts.

Has anyone tried to bake these instead of frying them?

Oh, Lordy. Where do I begin? First: I have NEVER fried ANYTHING in my life. My French-English mum never did, we never owned a cast iron skillet, canned anything, blah, blah. Aside from Betty Crocket, lol, we tended to eat big on Sunday (“joint of the week”), leftovers and fresh. Being a scientist i’ve always loved to bake and was quite decent at it except yeast. Last year I attempted cinnamon/sticky buns which also has a very sticky dough, and a few rols which were successful.

Fond memories of NOLA and Cafe du Monde had me lusting for the pillowy, powdered sugar all over your face and nice clothes beignets. Though I have a box of the mix, I knew the real ones were yeast. Most recipes had comments that said how disappointing they turned out. Deciding to attempt these was at worst a waste of less than $5 and a messy kitchen, at best, wicked good doughnuts and an increasing belly. I made the dough 2 days ago and while sticky it was manageable. after the rise and deflation, I threw it in the refrig until this morning. Having no paper bag in which to shake the fried dough I plopped them directly in the bulk container of powdered sugar. They looked just like yours and tasted of heaven! Not greasy, it was perfection. After frying a dozen or so I froze the rest of the pieces for another time. This recipe will defiitely be repeated as well as passed along to my (southern) daughters-in-law. Ty Ty Ty

I made these for my husband and we loved them. Then we stuffed them with Nutella and loved them even more! Thanks for the awesome recipe….I blogged the stuffed version with kudos to you.
