Monday I was a little bored and was still thinking about those donuts. It probably didn't help that I'd been looking at baked donut recipes on Pinterest. I created a board and everything.
Off I went to Michael's to get a donut pan. 40% off coupon for the win! I also went to the grocery store to get the ingredients. I had three recipes I wanted to try out - cinnamon sugar, Nutella filled and coffee cake.
Monday night I started with the cinnamon sugar recipe. I wouldn't say who, but someone hassled me for starting small ;). They were so good!! A bonus to baking these was that they use buttermilk and Zac decided to try some. I tried to tell him it was gross to drink but he tried it anyway. I should have videoed it!
The Nutella filled donuts required making Nutella rings and freezing them overnight. I made the Nutella ones Tuesday morning. I did not like them much. The actual donut part was a different recipe and it was not as good as the cinnamon sugar ones. They were better when they were warm but I don't think I'll make them again. They were more work for less taste.
I was really excited about the coffee cake donuts. I like the crumble on coffee cakes and the recipe had crumble and vanilla glaze. I made them after dinner Tuesday. Oh. My. Goodness. They were so good!! They are definitely my favorite of the three.
I may have burned the boys out on my donuts. I don't care that much! I'm gonna keep making them. The cinnamon sugar ones are super easy, I just have to make sure I have buttermilk, all the other ingredients are usually here. I do think I'll get another pan. Six donuts will not cut it with these boys and I'm not a big fan of waiting. I'd rather make all twelve at once.
What do you think? Do you ever get obsessive about baking?
