Making doughnuts at home is double rewarding I can promise you that. Not only do they taste much better than the commercial variety, you are guaranteed of a freshly made batch every time! I have ever bought doughnuts from a large supermarket and I regretted wasting my money. The doughnut was not only dry but it tasted stale! And the way I had been craving a doughnut, and what made me buy was how fluffy it looked yet it was awful to say the least. Anyway, moving on from bad doughnut memories. This is my third recipe as I have done plain eggless doughnuts and peanut glazed ones, amazing! I still look forward to making even more. Homemade doughnuts give you a wonderful aroma that invades the house in such a beautiful way you won't want to have doughnuts in any other way! I love how yeast smells especially when the dough is rising, almost intoxicating! Fresh yeast can be frozen. Wrap small pieces in cling film, then pack in a polythene bag and store up to 6 months. Leave yeast dough to rise in a warm place. If you don't have a warm place or its one of those cold seasons like it still is right now, you can warm the grill compartment of the cooker but make sure that it is not too hot or the dough will dry out on top and begin to cook instead of rise. These jam doughnuts are incredibly delicious, fluffy and have a lovely surprise on the inside! Perfect for comfort food.

If you love warm, fluffy doughnuts and the comforting taste of cinnamon, you’re in for a real treat. These Cinnamon Peanut Glazed Doughnuts take the classic doughnut to the next level with a buttery cinnamon coating and a thick, nutty peanut glaze. Whether baked or fried, they deliver the perfect balance of spice and crunch. Ideal for brunch spreads, cozy afternoons, or simply spoiling yourself with something sweet. I'm currently loving trying out different flavours of doughnuts. So far this is my second doughnut recipe. I made red glazed coconut doughnuts , which turned out to be a hit, and so I thought about what other combinations could work. Once you have the basic recipe for making doughnuts, you pretty much have a canvas on which to work with. I wanted crunchy doughnuts so I went with crushed peanuts on top. Delicious is an understatement! You can choose to fry or bake your doughnuts; either way they turn out delicious every time. I think my next recipe will be baked doughnuts. Yum!
