I was looking for a donut recipe that I could make for my kids that didn't need yeast or time to rise -- this one fit the bill. I've never made homemade donuts before so I can't compare them to anything but I was really happy with them. They're cake-like donuts, which I wanted. I had to add a full extra cup of flour (increasing total to 4c. flour) in order to get a consistency I could roll. Also, I used a greek-style non-fat yogurt (that's all I had), and I added about 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and about the same amount of fresh nutmeg because I had seen those on other recipes. I ended up with twenty 4-inch donuts and about 30 donut holes. Will definitely make again!!
