Of course, having just conquered the beast that is yeast this summer, I was all about diving head first into the yeast doughnut recipe from Alton Brown. Really, the recipe itself is amazingly simple; the only difficult thing it requires is time. Since I didn’t really relish the thought of waking up at 5am to make breakfast doughnuts, I just waited until nap time and, voila, breakfast doughnuts are transformed into snack time! And we had a fun decorating party with the sprinkles to boot!
These doughnuts were a great recipe, the cinnamon added that perfect little je ne sais quoi flavor and for the glaze I just quickly whipped together a cup of powdered sugar with 2 Tbsp milk and watered it down until it was the perfect dipping consistency. For the doughnut holes I experimented a little on the glaze, and I must say that a little splash of orange extract is divine on these beauties!
