I hate to give these only 3 stars but I guess I had higher expectations for them. They're good..pretty easy. Guess we're not that much of cake doughnut fans. They are easy but they still took me awhile to fry all them and I only got about 18 doughnuts out of a batch, not 30. And they were 18 pretty small ones at that. For the work of doing it, I think I'll just stick with bought, but it was fun to make at first. Thanks.

Tender and delicious,just like the real thing.When my brother got a bite,he said "is this Tim Hortons? " so I guess this sums it all.I used orange blossom water instead of vanilla.I made some with powdered sugar and some with cinnamon-sugar.Both were filled with blackberry jam and both variations were really good.Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
