I loved this recipe, easy to follow and quick to make. I did not have a donut dropper, so I used my cookie scoop and this gave me a good amount of large sized donut holes. My husband LOVED the glazed ones, but ran out of glaze and shook them in some superfine sugar. I prefered them with the sugar. All and all the perfect sunday morning donut! Thank you for a great recipe.
