    I am unpleasantly surprised that I can no longer pull a recipe off the website & have the rest of the recipes from that show at my fingertips. I want to put the glaze recipes on the same page as the doughnuts, but now I have to go back to the previous page or pages to get those recipes. PLEASE put a link on each recipe to connect to the recipes from the same segment. They so often got together & I want to keep them together in my online recipe file at home.

    Thanks, I can't wait to try this recipe. I'll rate the recipe better after I've had a chance to try it.

    This is an excellent recipe. The doughnuts are delicious. Not as good the next day, but most doughnuts aren't. It would have been nice to have the flour measurement in cups. It works out to about 5 cups. They are even better with the chocolate glaze on them. I shared them with friends and everyone loved them.

    I followed the directions exactly but my dough was a liquid mess. It didn't form a dough ball so I added more and more flour, probably 4 cups more to actually get it to somehwhat of a dough ball. Even then it was still extremely sticky and hardly manageable. After the second rise I went through all the trouble and ingredients so I fried them and they were edible more like a fritter.

    Hi. First of all I am from Scotland and I was looking for a yeast doughnut recipe for entering in to a show because I am a member of W R I (womens rural institute. I chose this recipe after some research eg converting your cups to our grammes and ounces. But the thing that helped me most was looking at everybody elses reviews and learning from their mistakes. Fantastic recipe and if you follow the weights as opposed to the cups you get perfect dough and yes I would agree increase sugar and your all set, you don,t even need to beat it like you suggested so long as your yeast is accurate, I used rapid yeast, slightly more to compensate. For me it was the best recipe ever created and I thankyou.

    Made the donuts following the recipe, but the donuts came out very flavorless. The next morning, the favor did intensify, but only the extra-sugary glaze I made could salvage them. In addition, some donuts did not perk up, and ended up like little misshapen pancakes. Sigh.

    I made this with my friend several weeks after I saw the episode, and they were DELICIOUS! The only problem, is that they don't keep AT ALL like most commercial doughnuts. Usually, Krispy Cremes, and Dunken Doughnuts etc can keep for a day or two, but these were practically inedible. Okay, not inedible, they just weren't as good. But fresh, they were heavenly.

    These donuts were almost perfect - I would have liked them to be a little sweeter. With the chocolate glaze they taste great, but without that they would be pretty flavorless. They cooked up just perfectly and Alton's directions are perfect. Like other reviewers suggested, plan about 3 hours to make these and eat them within 24 hours. I will definitely make these again!

    I hate to say it, but I was not impressed with this recipe.
    The glaze was good, but the doughnut was very bland. I had to through away the left over doughnuts, nobody wanted them. I will not make them again.
    Love the show good eats tho!

    I loved these doughnuts. If you follow the recipe correctly, you will have excellent, light, fluffy delicious doughnuts. To the person that complained they werent sweet enough, plain doughnuts arent supposed to be sweet. Make the glaze or wait for them to cool completely and dust with powdered sugar. They are out of this world!
