Can you air fry or bake these?
THIS LITTLE DAB OF CINNAMON AND NUTMEG WOULD NOT MAKE THE BATTER DARK!!!
I have not tried them, wanted to know if anyone tried baking them? Trying not to eat fried foods...
These were good, cake like donuts. You have to have a good dough to have a good tasting donut and this recipe is good. Thank you for sharing it with my family.
I won't be making this again. No matter how small the fritter was it was raw on the inside and dark on the outside. Also too much of a nutmeg flavor & the amount of cinnamon made the batter dark....I have no idea what went wrong.
My daughter and I had so much fun making these! The recipe surely made a lot---enough to share with neighbors. I even had a catering request for these! Great recipe!
Excellent and easy! I added cinnamon to the sugar you roll them in! Definately recommend!!!
These were very easy to make. I ended up making a second batch to take to church and they were gobbled up in a few short minutes.
Excellent recipe for cake donuts. The applesauce also acts as a substitute for fat, which is helpful. :-) I used the maximum amounts of cinnamon and nutmeg and it enhanced an otherwise plain cake doughnut. Not that I'm complaining - the maple glaze I put on this batch brought all the flavors of the doughnuts so wonderfully. This is definitely a KEEPER! So much you can do with it. Omit the cinnamon and nutmeg and glaze with chocolate glaze, etc. Thanks for sharing this!
Great doughnuts!
