Amazing amazing amazing! I can't stop making these! Alton, you've done it again! I can always trust Alton for amazing recipes backed by some true kitchen science.
I used butter instead of shortening. And I halved the recipe because I was cooking for just my family of 4. I don't have a scale, so I ended up using about 2.5 cups of flour total (so double that for the full recipe. I also don't have any cookie cutters whatsoever, so I used a drinking glass and a piping tip to make the shape. These are a dream, every mouthful. Alton, you've ruined my diet and I can't thank you enough for it.

Loved, loved, loved this recipe! Very comprehensive. Didn't have all the ingredients when I made the donuts so I subbed applesauce for eggs and used coconut palm sugar instead of white. They actually turned out really good and were still nice and moist the next morning, so glad it worked. I think next time I'm going to go more according to the recipe because they weren't as sweet as I'd like.

This recipe is great for Donuts. I do have a scale but still had to add Flour to get it to pull away from the bowl. And O and if you add the yeast to the milk after it cools down it work great.

This recipe was light and delicious no doubt about but my problem is how can I keep the donuts soft for at least 8hr like that of Dunkin Donut which stay soft even for 24hrs. If you would notice freshly fried yeast doughnuts can only stay soft at least an hour and then it turns stale. Can you please share some tips on what ingredients we could add to the basic donut recipe that will keep the donuts stay soft?

Fabulous! Off the chain, etc....
These were light and delicious, not sure why someone said they were tough.
I too did not have a scale to measure out the flour. I just kept adding until the dough pulled away from the pan and it worked out fine.

I tried this recipe, and not having a scale I added flour until it started pulling away from my bowl. Worked perfectly!
As with the other reviewer I used Active Dry Yeast and the results were perfect.
Took these to work and they were a huge hit.
Working on a second batch now to bring to work, it's the weekend and the admin isn't here. Maybe I can have a few more for myself this time!

I have made this recipe 3-5 times and the first was the best doughnuts I have ever eaten, the second was better, the third was even better, I am now going to cut the recipe down or invite company so 4 of us don't have to eat all of them while they are still warm.

These are wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out light. Maybe if they are coming out heavy for some people it's because the oil wasn't hot enough? This is the best donut recipe I've found.
