Batter way too runny, its like cake batter, no way to make a ball. I thought I did something wrong so I threw the first batch away, second batch came out same way. What a waste of time and ingredients!!!

I wanted to make some doughnuts. I kind of wish I would have gone to the store and bought a can of biscuits, like so many recipes suggest. So, I started to make the recipe according the directions. I agree with the other reviewers who stated that 4 eggs is way too many; after about 2 eggs the batter (i don't think I could call it dough at this point was on the runny side. I started to fry it, and 350 degrees is way too hot to cook this, the "donuts" were super brown and still raw in the middle. I did not use an ice cream scoop, because I thought that was too big, so I used a deep spoon to scoop it in. The consistency of the donut is more like a fritter. I didn't make the sauce, so I can only really comment on the donut part which is I am giving this recipe 3 stars instead of 2. I am giving the benefit of the doubt to the recipe and assuming the chocolate sauce makes up for the donut to give it an extra star. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was pretty disgusting. Too many eggs and they didn't even really taste like donuts.

I don't deep fry very often and for that reason I did use a candy thermometer for the oil. 360 degrees is way too high!! Also, the 4 eggs made the batter too watery to make actual dough balls. It poured more like pancake batter. On the up side, the flavor was absolutely delicious and I would simply lower the oil temp and use 2 eggs instead of 4. The chocolate sauce was a little too watery for my taste so I added more chocolate and cocoa so it thickened. Otherwise, also very tasty. Would make again!

I love how easy it is. I had to change it up a bit by using what i had. for the chocolate sauce i used whipping cream instead of the milk and nestle power coco for the chocolate and dark corn syrup. Instead of the zest I used 3 TB Watkins orange power. The sauce was perfect, it had a dark chocolate taste to it. The donuts are wonderful most people have the ingredients in their cabinet A perfect snack on a tight budget.

This looked so good and I had a party to attend and thought these would be perfect. I couldn't find mexican cocoa anywhere and used the hard mexican cocoa and cut it up. That is why maybe the chocolate sauce turned out watery like chocolate milk. While the donuts were easy to make they do take a long time in the fryer and by the 3rd batch I didn't have to cut one open to make sure the inside was cooked. I ended up scrapping everything and running to the store. My family did eat the donuts over the weekend and the chocolate sauce finally firmed up (after I had added more chocolate chips and heavy cream. I also looked for the chinese cinnamon and couldn't find that anywhere and I have lots of stores to find things. So after a full day of trying all the mexican stores to find powdered mexican cocoa and then finding it on-line, I was depressed.

I'm a huge orange-chocolate fan. So love the addition of orange to both the donuts and the chocolate sauce. I saved the leftover chocolate sauce to use over ice cream. Yum.
