I’m afraid the batter is a bit too loose to be fried in a traditional ring shape, but you may still be able to fry them as drop donuts, or donut “holes.” Just remove the oil from the batter, heat 2 – 3 inches of neutral oil (such as canola) in a high-sided pan to about 375 degrees, and use a small cookie scoop or two soup spoons to drop small balls of dough into the hot oil. Cook for 4 – 8 minutes, turning as needed to ensure that all sides brown evenly. Remove with a wire spider and drain thoroughly on paper towels. Fry only 4 – 5 at once, depending on the size of the pan, and keep a close eye on the oil temperature to make sure it doesn’t drop. Repeat with the remaining batter until finished. Enjoy, and let me know how it goes!

Hi again Hannah,
I wanna make these especially after making a trip to the local apple orchards. I have a 1/2-gallon jug of fresh apple cider sitting in my fridge. Can these be FRIED instead? I do not have a donut pan and above all, I & my son love fried ones to the baked version.

These look perfect! And make me want a doughnut pan even more.

Awesome!! I got a donut pan for Christmas & have only used it once so far. These look amazing!

I love your new spring-themed header, too! :) I am soooo ready for some nicer weather & seeing that reminded me that we’re getting close!

Mmm this looks great but I must admit I can’t wait to see the more extravagant version as well!

What an interesting recipe ! I like that they are baked; as you say it is good preparation for Lent.

^^^stevie — you can get them at crate and barrel.. maybe even bed bath and beyond. that kind of place

i made these last night and they are awesome! i used half wheat/half white flour and LOVED them. my bf said they were a bit denser than what he was used to at the farmers market though. did a double dip of icing. going to make another full batch tomorrow…………
