My Favorite Homemade Doughnuts For National Doughnut Day
HI GUYS! Happy Friday! HAPPY NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAAAAAY!
I am a HUGE fan of HOMEMADE doughnuts. Caps Lock needed because, you know, emphasis and such.
I am not someone that would make a trip to a Dunkin Donuts or a Krispy Kreme – I’ve had one bite of a Krispy Kreme doughnut, and, uhm WOW! – but I am that someone who will get up on a Sunday morning to bake OR fry a batch of doughnuts without much thought. I loveMY doughnuts (donuts)! Obnoxious? Perhaps. BUT I just really enjoy homemade-anything.
Homemade doughnutsmay look likean all day project, but they’re less work than you think, and the result is a truly great, hot,delicious doughnut.
Thus, since today isNational Doughnut Day – and there’s a really good story behind it, including the recognition of women’s contribution to World War 1 – I am sharing 8 of my favorite QUICK & EASY doughnuts recipes, including the recipe for these amazing Yogurt Doughnut Holes, whichis an updated recipe from the Diethoodarchives.
What Is The Secret Ingredient In This Doughnut Hole Recipe?
These Yogurt Doughnut Holes hail from my beautiful Macedonia.
Funny thing is, IN Macedonia these doughnut holes are called, “American Doughnuts”! And the reason they carry this name is because of the round shape. But when I asked the street vendor in Macedonia about his secret ingredient in these “American Doughnuts”, he said, “YOGURT! What else?!”… which is what Macedonians use for every.thing, from a sunburn to a Pita. American doughnuts, indeed.
Does This Doughnut Recipe Use Quick Bread Dough Or Yeast Bread Dough?
Doughnuts can be made from a quick bread dough or a yeast bread dough. These are definitely a quick bread – ain’t nobody got time for the dough to rise. Also, the yogurt is the secret to keeping them super light and moist, and the addition of 2 tablespoons vanilla is to keep them extra flavorful. If you want, use only 1 tablespoon, but I still think you should use 2.
If you are looking for a flavorful, light and fluffy doughnut to enjoy, consider giving these a try. Hit that save button and make them today! OR this weekend. You will love ’em!!
