Recipe For Cake Donuts

  

Anyway, for this week, I made buttermilk donuts. My favorite “non yeast type” of donut are buttermilk crullers or sinkers. Do you know what I mean? They are those really heavy, glaze soaked donuts. I have been wanting to try to make them for a long time. I figured that December, the month of calories, would be the perfect time to do it. I didn’t quite achieve the soaked glaze…I think maybe the donuts have to sit for at least a day with a thinner glaze than I used, but in my house? There is no way any donut is going to last 24 hours.

  4. Pat dough out to a rough rectangle about ½ inch thick.
