Thank you SO MUCH to all who joined in the FUN!

It’s spring break in suburbia. So I did what any other mother of a darling teen and pre-teen daughter lamenting to spend a week on a beach but had to stay home would do. I improvised. I packed the car with some clothes and Ree Drummond’s delicious new cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier and headed to the cabin with the girls and my parents for some cooking, eating and bonding time.

I mean it is the second best thing, right?

Ree’s newest cookbook is a collection of mouthwatering recipes explained through beautiful pictures and heartwarming stories of life on the ranch with her darling family. Just flipping through her lovely book makes you feel as if you’ve been whisked away to her ranch to enjoy all the adventure, food and fun that it has to offer.

So I figure, why not have some of that at the cabin? We’ll turn our charming little cabin into a sprawling ranch only without the horses and cowboys and instead a little improvisation.

We decided that we just had to make Ree’s homemade glazed doughnuts. Doughnuts hold a cherished place in all of our hearts. We love doughnuts. Not to mention, I always think of Ree whenever I see a doughnut after reading one of her posts that has now become one of my very favorite.  And what a better way to kick off our weekend than to do so with delicious homemade doughnuts? It was a perfect plan.

I cracked opened the cookbook and the fun began.

I soon realized that I had no doughnut cutter. No mixer with a hook. No silpat mats or parchment paper. No cooling racks.

Ahem.

Can you see that improvisation was a theme here?

But no worries. I mixed the dough with my hands. Used an antique vase and a wine glass for doughnut cutters. Aluminum foil in place of my beloved silpat mat. And scrubbed the dickens out of the oven rack to use as a cooling rack. To see the recipe done the right way with a step by step photo tutorial check out Ree’s post for Homemade Glazed Doughnuts.

Now back to the ranch, um I mean cabin. After letting the dough chill in the fridge and then rise the next morning Sassafras and I got busy.

It was such fun cutting out the doughnut holes with an antique vase.

I may never go back to a doughnut cutter personally.

After the little gems sat in a warm spot and turned into little pillows of fluffiness, it was time to fry them.

Pretend like I have a photo of the little darlings in their glory of puffiness. Thank you for your cooperation. 

I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised about how easy and fun it was to fry the little suckers.

Ahhhhhhh, haaaaaaaaa…

Insert angels singing.

Are those glorious or what?

Just so you know. An oven rack works perfectly as cooling rack.

Or in this instance a doughnut-glaze-dripping-rack.

And a cookie sheet works fabulously as a doughnut-hole-glaze-pouring surface.

And my mouth works perfectly as a doughnut-taste-tester.

Just thought I’d share. Le YUM! We’ll never buy doughnuts again!

You really must get your hot little hands on one of these delightful cookbooks. The recipes are divine (even when a little improv is necessary) and you too can have a slice of Ree’s frontier right in your own home. But guess what? Today is your LUCKY day! Sweet Ree is actually going to give three lucky winners a personalized cookbook!

(CONTEST CLOSED)
Enter to win one of three Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier cookbooks signed by Ree and addressed to you!

  1. these are absolutely gorgeous! i love how excited everyone is about ree’s cookbook – can’t wait to pick up a copy myself. your doughnuts look beautiful 🙂 i’ve never made them at home but you’ve inspired me to try…

    oh, and my favorite doughnuts are boston creme!

  2. Loved my Mom’s homemade cake like donuts….they were the bomb!! Chocolate frosting, of course!

  3. Glazed or Bavarian cream, I don’t have a sweet tooth but I love baked goods!
    Thank you for the opportunity!

  4. In the small town where I went to college there was a family owned doughnut shop that was open 24/7 and seemed to always have fresh doughnuts. They made a sour cream cake doughnut that will always be my favorite, and will always remind me of the great time I had for those 4 years.

  5. The simple, delicious, glazed doughnuts!! By the way, what’s the official spelling of these babies…? Doughnuts or Donuts?

  6. My favorite since I was a kid has been plain glazed doughnuts. They are simple, not a lot of fuss…but oh so heavenly in your mouth! Less is more couldn’t be truer than when it comes to glazed doughnuts.

  7. I love love love a good glazed doughnut. Especially when they are warm. Mmmmmm. Doughnuts!

  8. Powdered sugar hold a nostalgic place in my heart… best part of soccer practice was the donuts after.

  9. I cannot pass up a donut hole. Before I was of age and my friends boyfriend worked at a donut shop we’d go get donut holes and drink them with our beer.

  10. A glazed old fashion, then a chocolate eclair,then a maple bar, then a good old glazed, a occasional lemon jelly filled powdered.

  11. I prefer a cake doughnut with chocolate icing…yum. It is a rare occasion when I allow myself to eat one.

  12. I’ve never met a donut I didn’t like, but I tend to go for the classic plain cake–perfect for dipping in coffee. Apparently there’s a donut here that’s Nutella-filled brioche…which will most likely be my new favorite once I’ve had it.

  13. Plain old glazed. There is a restaurant in Pittsburgh, The Grand Concurse, that has an old-fashioned donut machine on their weekend brunch buffet. It makes the best donuts ever!

  14. Oh dear – I don’t think I’ve met a doughnut I haven’t enjoyed. However, I would say my favorites are the mini doughnuts you find at fairs that are completely covered in too much cinnamon-sugary goodness. Mouth watering.

  15. The doughnuts look amazing! My favorite would be a plain doughnut with sprinkles. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  16. My favorite is a buttercrunch donut. Glazed chocolate cake donut holes follow as a quick second… but those are so easy to pop in my mouth that I find them a little dangerous! 😉

  17. A hot cream filled Krispy Creme. I will wreck the car trying to see if the HOT NOW light is on.

    THX for the chance!

  18. Actually – not a real fan of the donut, but I will eat a strawberry cake donut if I happen across one 🙂

  19. I love donut holes the best. Truth be told of chain or mass market I only like Krispy Kreme originals when the hot now sign is on!

  20. I’m not entering…I have one of these babies, and I LOVE it. BUT, I just wanted to say how IMPRESSED I am by your doughnut improvisation! Wow, Wendy!

  21. My favorite doughnut is the valet glazed toe sometimes called sour cream or old fashioned in Dallas local donut shops.
    I’d love to win the cookbook!

  22. Although my first love is a glazed chocolate cake doughnut, I also have a soft spot for tiger tails, and apple fritters.

  23. I LOVE blueberry cake donuts. But those up above look divine, too. Thanks for the opportunity to win PW’s latest book!! :]

  24. I (and my thighs) try to stay away from doughnuts. But if you really wanted to tempt me, you could do it with a Blueberry Buttermilk Doughnut fresh from Earl’s in Chatsworth, CA, – because I’ll bet they taste just as good as they did 40 years ago.

  25. Great photos by the way and I love your improvisation. Genius ideas. My fav donut would be the good old traditional flavour of jam with a sugar coating on the outside. Naughty but very very nice ;o)

  26. Loved your post! My favorite is apple cider donuts. I made them once – but I could not seem to stabilize the temp of the oil.

  27. A Krispy Kreme glazed Chocolate cake doughnut – that was the doughnut my husband and I split as our wedding cake :p

  28. I was going to say chocolate cake with chocolate frosting but after seeing your photos, I’m going with PW’s glazed!

  29. Ahhhhh What could be better than to WIN a cookbook from one of my favorite bloggers, from yet another one of my favorite bloggers site/contest!!

    Luv you both, more n’ my luggage!

    Oh and… ahem… PICK ME!!

  30. The original glazed donut is my all time FAVORITE…and I don’t have a problem with admitting I lick my fingers afterwards so I don’t miss a drop!

  31. Wow. Who knew making donuts at home could be so simple? My mom always fried up refrigerated biscuits and dusted them powdered sugar and called them “donuts” for an extra special, after school treat.

  32. Boston creme are my absolute favorite but I think chocolate glazed or chocolate frosted come in second.

  33. I can’t resist a maple donut, and I’m positive Pioneer Woman’s maple icing she used with her cinnamon roll recipe on her blog would be amazing on her donuts as well!

  34. Glazed doughnuts from Ma’s doughnut shop(the ones from the Doughnut Vault in Chicago are pretty good too!!)

  35. I love a good blueberry donut. But then, I never can refuse a kruller. Or a custard-filled. Or a hot glazed. Or. . .

    😉

  36. Glazed, just the way you made them. Homemade are best, but there’s a local bakery that is a very close second.

  37. Did you ever have a French Cruller? It’s like a light airy eclairlike (is that a word?) base dipped in glaze. YUM! My ex-husband worked at a doughnut shop making the donuts and I gained 20 pounds eating French Crullers and steamed hot cocoa. Needless to say that marriage was short-lived. Haha!

  38. Chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and peanuts on top. Then any cake donut just not a yeast donut those are disgusting to me.

  39. There’s a donut store nearby that takes plain donuts (no hole,) cuts them in half, and stuffs them with fresh glazed strawberries. But really, I love them all!

  40. Cake doughnuts. If you’ve ever been to Cincinnati, there’s this bakery called Busken, they make the best cake doughnuts- glazed or PLAIN, the best- in the whole wide world… in fact now I want one. Thanks! 😀

  41. I was just reminiscing about my favorite doughnut the other day! My grandma used to get doughnuts when I would stay at her house, and my absolute favorite was a cream stick with chocolate glaze – my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  42. I love doughnuts with blueberry filling, I watch your show on Saturday mornings on Foodnetwork. I find your show Pioneer Woman very informative

  43. Good old fashion glazed!! Yumm and good job!! I think I will have to make these at my cabin!!

  44. I love a good peanut crunch donut. Cake donut glazed and then covered in peanut crunch…a peanutty, brown sugar, and butter mixture.

  45. My favorite kind of doughnut is one that has chocolate glaze and sprinkles! They are the only kind that I eat… though maybe if I made some PW doughnuts I would have a heart change!

  46. I am personally a fan of Chocolate with andes mints, however you can never go wrong with a traditional glazed.

  47. apple filled all the way! who doesn’t need more apple (…and sugar… and fried dough) in their life?!

  48. I’m normally a plain-glazed kind of girl, but I’ve recently discovered maple-glazed cake and now I’m officially in love with both!

  49. OHHHH Lorry those look so good I can just smell them!!!My favorites are sour cream donuts.

  50. I’m not entering the giveaway. Just had to tell you how wonderful your donuts look. Thanks for the *interior* look. I have yet to make donuts, either fried or baked but I do love these spheres of deliciousness so I’m sure I’ll be trying them soon.

    Necessity if the mother of invention and I love your adaptation of a donut cutter. Well done!

  51. I think even I could make these! Thanks for sharing. Your photos are always spectacular, too!

  52. I love Ree!! My favorite kind of doughnut is…..wait……wait for it……….
    CHOCOLATE GLAZED.

  53. A yeast donut with chocolate glaze.. or maybe coffee donut. I do make them rather often ~ in a bread machine makes it easy peasy.

  54. Okay- normally it’s a toss up between a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting & nuts and then a Bavarian cream filled donut with chocolate frosting. But these look divine- you did a great job. I may just have to make some for the fam.

  55. Glazed donuts rock my world ~ Ree’s cookbook would also rock my world!!! Thanks for the give~away.

  56. Love this! My absolute favorite are cinnamon sugar cake doughnuts fried to perfection like these. My mom used to make them using the Betty Crocker recipe and we have a cider mill nearby that makes the best – I’ve been the first one there when they open for the last two years!

    • Hi Poppy!

      I didn’t have a thermometer (again improvisation) I just dropped a doughnut hole in to test the oil. When it popped back up to surface and started to sizzle, I knew that the oil was ready.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  57. My favorite is the rasberry jelly filled, but recently I have found Psycho donuts in San Jose that make dirty turtle donuts with cookie crumbs and caramel.

  58. My favorite kind of donuts are cream filled!! With chocolate frosting on top. So kind of an eclair. Yum.

  59. Old fashioned, cinnamon and sugar doughnut holes, and a cake doughnut with white icing and sprinkles!

  60. My favorite donut is a chocolate covered, cream filled donut! BUT, I am an equal opportunity donut fan and will eat any kind, anywhere, anytime!

  61. Love that you improvised with your tools for the doughnuts! I don’t know if there is one I’d turn down, but chocolate glazed is always pretty delicious.

  62. Lately I’ve been partial to the glazed chocolate cake donuts, but when I can find them a chocolate cream filled donut is to die for. Great giveaway!

  63. I love sugar doughnuts, jam-filled doughnuts and maple-glazed doughnuts. They are all delightfully good.

  64. I love a simple glazed doughnut, but I recently saw that there is a place in Chicago that serves a doughnut that is glazed with a whiskey glaze and topped with bacon. I must try it soon!

  65. Chocolate cake doughnuts just barely beat my all time favorite, simple, unassuming glazed.

  66. I’m pretty easy – just add chocolate and sprinkles (preferably rainbow) and that’s my favorite!

  67. I like them original with nothing added…plain ole doughnuts…its good enough like it is. Who needs toppings or fillings?? 🙂

  68. My favorite is called a “Vanilla Angel” – it is a powdered sugar doughnut with a vanilla buttercream inside! yum!!

  69. I LOVE that you used an oven rack! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that since when we moved in we discovered two extra racks in the garage. Now I know what I’ll be using them for! (only three years later…lol) My favorite are either glazed chocolate cake donuts or boston creams.

  70. Hi, Just found your site from Ree’s site and I love it. I also love the doughnut story on the Pioneer Woman. I just have to say that my favorite all time doughnut is just a plain raised doughnut with sugar coating. Nothing fancy. I will certainly be keeping up with you from now on.

  71. My favorite Donut is a old fashioned sour cream donut with a light glaze. the ones from rainbow donuts here in phoenix are incredible.

  72. GERMAN CHOCOLATE! ohhh just the thought of one with a fresh cup of coffee………………

  73. I had my favorite doughnut once during my travels. It is the German Chocolate doughnut at LaMars in Montgomery, AL!

  74. Never made a doughnut before, but will have to try Ree’s recipe. I love Krispy Kreme donuts.

  75. glazed with chocolate icing on the top……fresh and warm from the fryer! YUMMMMMMM

  76. My mom’s recipe, which makes a heavier donut that you top with cinnamon and sugar. Yum yum.

  77. I never met a donut I didn’t like but my all time fave is an apple fritter from Tim Hortons! Try one……they are divine!

  78. I’ve always loved the peanut butter creamed filled. I ate one almost every day when I was pregnant.

  79. I hate to play favorites where doughnuts are concerned. I don’t like hurt feelings. I’ll eat any old kind of doughnut!

  80. I love finger doughnuts with white frosting and sprinkles. Every time I bite into one it takes me back to my first job at a grocery store bakery when I was in high school. It would be my breakfast pretty much every shift. Ah the good old days when doughnuts counted as a healthy breakfast…sigh…

  81. Cinnamon dusted cake donuts, or fresh glazed that are still warm! Hmm…maybe should make a batch of these?!

  82. I’m a huge fan of chocolate covered donuts with sprinkles. Every place has them, and they’re so good!

  83. I’m always up for a good old-fashioned doughnut. (How plain-seeming…) I love a chocolate cake doughnut too, though. Or anything with chocolate frosting. Yum.

  84. OK, your site doesn’t like me. I love plain ole’ glazed donuts. We’ll see if this one posts? Thanks

  85. Raspberry filled glazed doughnuts are my absolute favorite and regular glazed would be the next in line.

  86. I love cream filled, chocolate glazed donuts. Your vase/goblet improvisation brought back memories of my grandmother. She made fabulous biscuits and always cut them out with a very pretty teacup that had lost its handle. Thanks for reminding me.

  87. There’s a little donut shop here that’s been in business at least 55 years and probably more. Irish Maid Donuts. Any kind they make is heavenly.

  88. There is not any kind of donut that I don’t like! If I have to pick one it would be the chocolate glazed from “Southern Maid” in Louisiana.

  89. I love plain glazed doughnuts. Sometimes with vanilla icing and sprinkles if I’m feeling sassy.

  90. I love a boston cream donut, chocolate, cream filling and a donut – what’s not to love?! Thanks for the chance to win PW’s cookbook. I have been looking around your site and am so glad Ree sent us here, I am now following you as well!!

  91. I love a boston cream donut, chocolate, cream filling and a donut – what’s not to love?! Thanks for the chance to win PW’s cookbook. I have been looking around your site and am so glad Ree sent us here, I am now following you as well!!

  92. I love that you cut out the donut holes with a little vase. Very inventive, my dear! No need to enter me in the giveaway b/c I have a copy of Ree’s wonderful book.

  93. This is gonna sound funny but… I don’t like donuts. If I was forced to enjoy one, It would have to be pudding filled and drowned in dark chocolate, then smothered with gold and silver sprinkles.

  94. Favorite kind of doughnut: freshest possible doughnut! (Which is sometimes very difficult to come by here…)

  95. My Cambodian American neighbors have a donut shop where they make THE BEST apple fritters! So if it is from their shop, I vote apple fritter. Anyplace else, I’m a glazed donut girl…

  96. Warm Krispy Kremes are my very favorites!

    I have an autographed copy of Ree’s first cookbook. My son bought the book after it first came out and mailed it to her and requested her autograph. She signed it and sent it back to him and it was a wonderful Christmas gift for me. I’d love to have the second book too!

  97. As a Carolina girl, I must pick a hot, glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme as my all-time favorite.

  98. can I please have a long john filled with cream cheese , glazed and then dipped in crushed bacon? thank you.. I’ll take any donut anytime anywhere… And I worked in a donut shop — never got tired of donuts!

  99. These doughnuts look absolutely scrumptious! Back in the day before I had to go gluten-free, I loved any and all. I now get Katz gluten-free custard-filled and cinnamon which are delicious. If I am one of the lucky winners of Ree’s cookbook, you can bet I’ll be working on a gluten free version! Thanks, Linda

  100. I really like French Crueller’s. Second choice would be a cake donut with chocolate icing.

  101. I love cake doughnuts with a cinnamon sugar coating…or dipped in chocolate of course!

  102. If we are talking doughnuts in general, you can’t go wrong with a classic like the glazed doughnut. My hometown bakery makes these amazing fried rolls with peanut butter frosting which are about the closest thing to perfection there is. A close third are the blueberry cake doughnuts I get at the Donut Professor here in Omaha!

  103. We have an awesome donut shop near us called hypnotic donuts and they have all kinds of spectacular donuts. One favorite is the Evil Elvis – peanut butter, banana and bacon on top of a glaze donut.

  104. Love the Dunkin Doughnut creme filled ones; oh my gosh. Glad I can only have them on vacation; there are very few Dunkin doughnbuts in MN

  105. I’ve made Ree’s doughnuts before and I have to say they are the BEST! I want to add a little maple flavoring to the icing next time. 🙂

  106. As a child, we made raised homemade doughnuts often…how can they not still be my favorite? I really should make them with my grandchildren now – I’ll use Ree’s recipe!

  107. It has to be a maple bar first and foremost!!

    I also like glazed and sugar doughnuts. but anything with filling? ick

  108. A warm orange-y glazed doughnut from Round Rock Donuts here in Texas. The ones as big as your face are amaaaazing (not that I ate the whole thing or anything…)

  109. Oh, I love donuts, but I do stay away… they usually end up on my backside! A special indulgence would be Dunkin Donuts chocolate cake donut. Only for my birthday. Maybe. Okay.

  110. Those doughnuts look AMAZING!!! My favorite doughnut would have to be a turtle doughnut from our local convenient store. It’s a plain doughnut covered in a maple glaze, drizzled with chocolate and topped with nuts, so good!

  111. My favorite donut/doughnut would be a plain one with so little batter it almost melts in your mouth when you bite it. Luckily, the bakery down the street from me sells this exact kind. Hooray!

  112. I love the cream filled doughnuts…delicious…but, glazed doughnuts come in at a close 2nd!!

  113. Southern Maid!! I am from the south and there is just nothing like a glazed Southern Maid donut!! Thanks!

  114. Still searching for the doughnuts I had as a small child in Michigan at the apple cider mill. Warm, cake doughnuts that left grease marks on the paper bag and life-long memories in my heart (stomach?). Eaten with a cold glass of fresh cider…. One of my favorite memories (and foods!) of my childhood!

  115. glazed donuts are my downfall!!!!!!!!! I could eat a dozen by myself!!!!!!!!!!!! Love them!!!!!

  116. I love cake donuts with either cinnamon & sugar or dipped in chocolate & nuts. Yum. I have to try these! You make it look so easy. 🙂

  117. I love plain old glazed, raised donuts, a cup of coffee (with a little cream) and a good book (preferably a cookbook)

  118. I love donuts in any shape or form! But cream filled and chocolate frosted are the. best. Yummy!!! 🙂

  119. Apple Fritters……preferably from Ronald’s Donut in Las Vegas…..Too bad I live in MO

  120. I like the Bavarian cream ones, where the filling is more like custard than whipped cream. So delicious.

  121. I love doughnuts! I don’t think I’ve ever met one I didn’t like. But I do remember, as a little girl, always choosing to get the raspberry filled doughnut dusted with granulated sugar. So yum!

  122. I like Glazed, but I know they aren’t good for me, so I don’t eat them very often. These look SOOO good!!
    I found you from PW’s website…thanks for the opportunity for the chance to win the cook book!

  123. Love old fashioned cake donuts. After reading this blog post, these donuts might be my new favorite!

  124. I’ve never made doughnuts, but my favourite doughnut is the chocolate dip ones from Tim Horton’s!

  125. There’s this one bakery by my house that has chocolate cream filled donuts. So it’s the same type of donut as a jelly filled, but it’s got this amazing chocolate frosting inside instead. I heart it so!

  126. My favorite doughnut since childhood has been a chocolate glazed bar doughnut with custard filling. When I was 7 my mom would buy me one for Saturday breakfast, and sometimes as an extra treat, a little bottle of chocolate milk. Those were the days haha!

  127. While I enjoy many kinds of doughnuts, my personal favorite is a warm, fresh original glazed donut from Krispy Kreme.

  128. Hmm…..either a chocolate covered unfilled long john or maybe just a regular glazed one.

  129. Mmmm I like a good “Old Fashioned” donut from Dunkin’… perfect for dunking in coffee!

  130. My absolute favorite donut ever is a strawberry donut with strawberry glaze…closely followed by blueberry donuts, maple donuts, and every other kind of donut lol.

  131. The doughnut post of Ree’s is one of my favorites, too! Had me laughing my toosh off!

    Favorite doughnut: Anything with real whipped cream inside. No custard!

  132. My Achilles heel of doughnuts is filled with Bavarian cream and covered in Maple icing (excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin).

  133. My very fave donut is the potato flour donuts made fresh & shaken with powdered sugar that we get at the farm show in the state capital every year. They are heavenly!

  134. My favorite doughnut is a plain ‘ol cake doughnut. For this my husband thinks I’m crazy, “plain!?!” A close second is old fashion doughnuts : )

  135. My favorite donuts are plain ole raised, glazed donuts…..as long as they are freshly made!

  136. My favorite kind of doughnut has to be creme filled with chocolate frosting. But I have to say ones from the cookbook look pretty darn good too. =)

  137. Good ole glazed doughnuts. I’ve made a lot of Ree’s recipes, but never the doughnuts. Hmmmm…. may have to try it.

  138. I love all doughnuts! Apple fritters, blueberry cake, chocolate glazed, and warm Krispy Kreme are at the top of the list.

  139. I have only had this two times but it was the best…. Maple long john topped with maple bacon!!!!
    The best donut I have ever had.

  140. My favorite doughnut is a blueberry fritter with fresh blueberry preserves in the middle! Mmmmnnn…

  141. My favorite kind of doughnut is the simple kind with sugar on it – no glaze, just sugar and fried dough. Yum!

  142. Chocolate Cake (I realize this is really cake not a doughnut, but the shape still counts right?)

  143. Do I have to choose just one???? LOVE warm Krispy Kreme donuts, chocolate covered custard (or creme filled), and chocolate covered with sprinkles (I am a sucker for sprinkles).

  144. MMmmmmm…custard filled w/ chocolate frosting, or old fashioned glazed. Deffinately trying these soon!!

  145. I am a big fan of a plain (and I mean plain) cake donut…like Dunkin Donuts used to have (but apparently have forsaken for “frou-frou” donuts). Every once in a while, I happen upon an out-of-the-way diner that serves up something like it, but they are few and far between….*sigh*

  146. I like the simple glazed doughnuts, like the ones in your pictures that are making my mouth water.

  147. These look SO Yummy!! My favorite is choco glazed so I might have to add some choco to my donuts!

  148. My favorite kind of donut is lemon filled, but these have my mouth watering! I am a new follower! Thank you for hosting this giveaway! 🙂

  149. I would have to say that my favorite doughnut is a twisty glazed….they remind me of my childhood and the great memories come flooding back! 🙂

  150. Glazed or with Chocolate Frosting. But with Ree’s recipe of course. Home made are always best!

  151. Krispy Kreme just arrived in our area. So far, I haven’t found one that isn’t in the running to be my favorite!

  152. I go for the plain glazed or if I’m feeling really sinful, a cake doughnut with white icing and coconut on top.

  153. I’m not sure that I’ve ever met a doughnut I didn’t like, but I happen to LOVE a blueberry cake doughnut. They are the absolute best, in my opinion! 🙂

  154. My favorite doughnut is from a little bakery here in Pittsburgh called “Pastries A-La-Carte” … that is basically like a powered doughnut sandwich with a fruit filling in between – the doughnuts are so light and fluffy!

  155. Chocolate cake doughnuts have got to be my faves. But a good glazed is pretty darned good too!

  156. There is a local bakery here called Spaldings. You have to get there early because they only make so many in a day and when they are sold out they are finished until the next day. Their glazed donuts melt in your mouth!

  157. we call them tractor tire donuts…but i think the official name of them are french donuts…ohh so good!!!!

  158. Glazed with chocolate frosting OR *any* type of cider mill donut – powdered, sugar, plain, you name it!

  159. I’m a big fan of the classic white-on-white combo when it comes to cakes and pastries. So, for me, a white cake donut with white frosting (and sprinkles!) is just about heaven. They remind me of my dad, too, so that’s a nice bonus.

  160. I remember the first time I tasted a Krispy Kreme glazed donut on vacation in South Carolina before we could get them in Ohio. We brought 6 boxes home with us! Still my very favorite donut!

  161. chocolate buttermilk doughnuts are my favorite, with chocolate frosting. The crunchy kind. Also, the long bars with cream inside and chocolate frosting on top…loveliness. And bear claws.

  162. my faves are a recipe given to me by the dad of an old friend who used to make them for all the kids when we were in school. I miss those days.

  163. I know this is crazy but my favorite doughnut is with maple icing and bacon crumbles on it!!! Yep!! everything tastes better with Bacon!!!:)

  164. They used to call them Old Fashions….they are really Glazed Sour Cream ones! Just LOVE them!

  165. Just met and had my fav. Cinnamon and Sugar donut at Gourdough’s Big. Fat. Donuts. truck in Austin Texas. Light, airy, flavorful and as big as your dog’s head.

  166. I like the pudding filled ones with chocolate frosting on top. Is that Boston Cream? I dunno. But if given the chance, I’ll take a pudding-filled one.

  167. Amazingly decedent maple doughnuts, made by the* fabulous* Swiss Pantry in Belvidere, TN. 🙂

  168. My favorite donuts are glazed, just plain soft goodness 🙂 Bearclaws and jam filled don’t hurt either though 😉

  169. I love doughnuts! My current favorite is a plain doughnut with strawberry icing but its tied with a chocolate glazed doughnut!

  170. I am normally not a fan of cake doughnuts but my Grandma used to make cake doughnut with cardamon and nutmeg in them. I loved those. If picking up doughnuts someplace, then I like a bismark or creme filled long john.

  171. A simple, warm Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut right off the conveyor belt in the doughnut shop! Heaven!!!

  172. So excited there are so many giveaways for PW’s book! Amazing! I love chocolate doughnuts. They are just the best! But I wouldnt mind trying these ones either! Thank you for the giveaway 🙂

  173. My favorite doughnut recipe is the Faschnacht recipe that I have used for over 50 years. They are a yeast doughnut, as light as a feather and traditionally served on Shrove Tuesday.

  174. My mom’s from when I was a little kid! I remember her shaking them in a paper bag to coat them with cinnamon sugar.

  175. I really do just love a simple glazed doughnut. I MUST try this recipe – thanks for sharing it!

  176. I love pinecone donuts and maple covered long johns. Haven’t had either in a very longtime, but reading your post has me thinking tomorrow morning would be a great day for either! Thanks!

  177. Well I haven’t really met a doughnut I didn’t like…..but anything with cream filling is delightful! 🙂

  178. New to your site–really love it! My favorite doughnut is a cream filled bismark–used to get them growing up in Wisconsin–really good!!

  179. Ok, those look amazing. You know, with all the fancy donuts around, I love a simple glazed one. Preferably warm!

    Thanks for offering such a fantastic giveaway! I loved Ree’s first cookbook.

  180. I’ve made only fried biscuit doughnuts and they”re pretty good! Plain KrispyKremes are my favorite “store-bought”.

  181. Well, I’ve never met a doughnut I didn’t like….but the BEST are glazed old fashioned. And, not just any old fashioned will do. It has to be a real, honest to goodness mom and pop shop old fashioned to taste just right 🙂

  182. Well now, that depends on who’s making the doughnut! Lately I’ve been enjoying anything with sprinkles!

  183. I think I am going to try these and they may just be my new favorite! Besides that I love Chocolate cream filled ones 🙂

  184. My favorite doughnut is plain old chocolate glazed. But I also love a good Boston Cream filled one.

  185. Cinnamon cake doughnuts are my fav…and because my sweet boys love me, they sometimes go get them for me on Saturday mornings 🙂 Loved the pictures to go along with this post-your doughnuts look amazing!

  186. One favorite? We have to pick just one?! Okay… 🙂

    The chocolate iced bar. Like the maple bars, only chocolate. As a kid we always called them Chocolate Long Johns.

  187. My favorite are hot, straight out of the fryer, and shaken in powdered sugar……mmmmmmmmmmmmm

  188. My favorite doughnut has always been the chocolate iced cake doughnut. But these glazed doughnuts you made could change my mind in a hurry! I may need to try these for Easter morning.

  189. Chocolate Frosted Chocolate donuts are my favorites, but I have to agree with Ree, that IS a pretty perfect batch of Glazed Donuts you made!!

  190. Top Pot Berliners. Top Pot also make fabulous maple bars. Too bad they are like 1,000 calories. I also love Mighty-O donuts, especially their french toast one. I live above a cafe that serves them and two blocks away from a Top Pot. So dangerous!

  191. Just out of the oven, warm Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnuts!!!! I miss living by a KK shop 🙁

  192. I don’t think there’s a kind of donut I don’t like, but my favorite would have to be a plain glazed yeast donut. Like the kind you get from old school donut shops, not Krispy Kreme. If I weren’t so afraid of frying, I would totally make a batch of these donuts, but considering I’d also eat an unseemly amount of them, it’s probably a good thing that I won’t.

  193. My favorite is just the standard glazed like the ones you made. Those looked so lovely and divine, I could eat the whole tray!

  194. my favorite doughnuts are old-fashioneds (cake w/ glaze) – especially when just made and barely cooled.
    second favorites: maple bars, cinnamon-sugar-dusted, cinnamon twists, fudge glazed, and well, you get the picture…i like doughnuts. 🙂

  195. I love a plain sugared donut, Krispy Kreme is a local favorite, haven’t tried to make one yet.

  196. I am a simple girl – just a glazed doughnut. My favorite BY FAR is from Round Rock Doughnuts just outside of Austin, TX.

  197. Oh my Maple Bars! I do like these Peanut Butter ones done at a local bakery too, creamy peanut butter on the inside smothered with chocolate on the outside.

  198. Homemade doughnuts are the best! Hot out of the oil and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. I’m drooling!!! 🙂

  199. It’s a tie between Krispy Kreme raspberry filled, and the glazed one with the chocolate on top!!!

  200. How do you pick such a thing like a favorite doughnut? That’s like picking a favorite child. I love glazed, filled (cream or fruit), long johns, cinnamon, sprinkles…I just love doughnuts and would eat them every day if they wouldn’t make my butt big. Oh my birthday is Friday so maybe I should ask for doughnuts instead of cake. LOL

  201. I love a fresh Chocolate Glazed Doughnut in the morning with a glass of ice cold MILK!!

  202. I love chocolate glazed long john’s. They’re so light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. 🙂

  203. my favorite donut would be a chocolate glazed cake donut!! I’ve got to try this recipe too!!

  204. not that I would turn down ANY donut (unless it had coconuts on it), but my favorite is a peanut donut made by a shop here in central OH called Jolly Pirate. YUUUUMMMMM!

  205. Unglazed plain old fashioned from Gibson’s Doughnuts in Memphis! Best doughnut place ever.

  206. My favorite is the glazed doughnut….preferably warm…but hey, even a few days old with a good cup of coffee is still wonderful!!

  207. My favorite donut is a glazed jelly filled.

    Doesn’t matter what kind of jelly…just no whip cream.

  208. Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed, of course! (And in the fall, their limited time pumpkin spice doughnut is pretty awesome too)

  209. I am not a doughnut fan, but my kids love love the plain glazed kind. Thank you so much.

  210. the dunkin’ donuts near my college used to have peanut butter and jelly doughnuts. A jelly doughnut with a peanut butter glaze. It was so good. They discontinued it before I graduated, and I was never able to find it again. I miss that doughnut.

  211. I can’t pick just one kind of donut. I love glazed ones, cocolate ones, cream filled ones, fritters. I love donuts!!!

  212. I love Boston Cream donuts. They have to have a lot of vanilla pudding in them though.

  213. it’s a tie between a sour cream cake donut (glazed, of course!) or a blueberry cake donut.

  214. If I pass Krispy Kreme and the red light is on, I’m there. A glazed doughnut (or 6) right off the line is to die for.

  215. my fave donut is the kruller. not sure if that is how you spell it. i think they are a cake donut with a sweet glaze. love them. but not as much as i would love to win one of Ree’s books!!

  216. Mmm, those look yummy!
    I like a good old fashioned glazed doughnut. Maple is yummy, too, but just the plain glaze is good for me!

  217. I love maple frosting on my doughnut, but don’t think I would turn any of them down.

  218. My favorite is probably a raised donut , with chocolate icing. Thanks for the chance to win

  219. I love old fashioned doughnuts with a tad bit of maple glaze:) I mostly like drawing doughnuts with tons of rainbow sprinkles though:)))

  220. My favorite is the chocolate cream filled with the powdered sugar on the outside. If that isn’t available, then I go for the chocolate cake. Never had a bad doughnut though so any of them holds a special place in my belly.

  221. My favorite all time sweet is a donut! I love donuts!!! My favorite is a maple bar with a homemade maple icing!

  222. I’m with JamieK EXACTLY!
    A warm, Krispy Cream glazed doughnut.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  223. I don’t really like frosting but a good chocolate frosting on a Bavarian Cream filled Longjohn is HEAVEN on earth for me.

  224. Really? One kind of favorite? Ok… if I have to pick just one, it has to have chocolate in it. A chocolate long john.

  225. Cinnamon sugar cake doughnut is always my 1st pick but doubt I would say no to any type!

  226. Those doughnut look great! I haven’t made doughnuts since I was a little girl helping my mom. Your post makes me want to make some soon. My all time favorite doughnut is a chocolat long john.

  227. Warm galzed do-nuts straight out!! No need to look at anything else. I also love Ree’s all I wanted was a donut post-seriously classic!

  228. Any donut from Dunkin’ Donuts! But if I have to choose one then it would be plain old glazed. Thanks!

  229. My favorite kind of doughnut is a twisted cinnamon donut made by a nearby bakery – they are to die for!

  230. I’m a chocolate cake doughnut person! They are even better as the little holes with plenty of glaze!

  231. I have Pioneer Woman’s other cookbooks and love all of her recipes. Thanks for a chance to win her latest. I love a plain glazed doughnut !

  232. My mom, sisters and I make doughnuts every year for Lancaster County’s official day of the doughnut…fausnaught day. They are definitely my favorite.

  233. My favorite Doughnut is the Chocolate Creme filled powdered sugar. Wonderful, and an hour later, when you realize you have powdered sugar on your shirt, you can think back to the tasty treat, and then try to figure out how many people you talked to or passed in the past hour…

  234. Tough decision here…always get a chocolate old fashioned, but guess I have to pick a white cake donut with white frosting and chopped peanuts.

  235. I have loved those glazed donuts with the pudding in the middle since I was a little girl!!

  236. Your donuts look amazing! Who needs a cutter or anything special for that matter…way to go. I’m crazy for a warm, delectable, maple bar. We lived in NYC and there was a bakery…oh my. I’m still working on getting off those pounds!!!! Thanks for the chance to win.

  237. My favorite (much to my chocoholic younger self’s dismay) is a warm cider doughnut… SIGH!

  238. I know it’s probably lame, but my favorite doughnut is a WARM glazed doughnut. Simple, and wonderful.

  239. cheese (swwet ricotta, cream cheesy0 filled, sugar doughnut from the local German bakery.

  240. My favorite are some we used to get at the cider mill we visited each fall in Michigan. Yeast doughnuts coated in cinnamon and sugar. Delicious with a cup of fresh cider.

  241. I enjoy a chocolate glazed doughnut. However, I do enjoy the maple bacon flavor at Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland.

  242. first of all, I love your improvisation! I find myself doing it all the time! I love the old fashion doughnuts. Some people call them sour cream doughnuts (my husband to be exact). SO YUMMY!

  243. I have two Favs. Krispy Kremes as a given and a maple long john with bacon sprinkled on top.

  244. Hot. Fresh. Glazed. Krispy Kreme. Need I say more? (oh, and a glass o’ skim milk on the side, please. Extra cold. With a straw. That is all.)

  245. My favorite kind of donut is chocolate glazed, but I’ll eat any donuts you place in front of me!

  246. Maple Bars, I have very fond memories of my Grandpa picking them up to share when I’d spend the night with him.

  247. I’m not the biggest donut fan, I will take anything over a donut, but if I had to guess, it would be cake donuts because they’re more like cake and less like donuts, and they must be chocolate. 🙂

  248. I love Krispy Kreme Raspberry filled donuts. Really any donut will do but they taste so good with chocolate milk!

  249. Maple Glazed Bacon Donut . . . a cake donut with maple frosting and bacon! It sounds strange, but it is delicious!

  250. the old fashioned crinkly looking ones… YUM! and if it is old fashioned chocolate or old fashioned pumpkin… EVEN better!! =)

  251. Just plain ol’ glazed is what makes my heart skip a beat! Hopefully not from the fat and sugar content…

  252. At the moment my favorite donut is a yellow cake donut covered in thick, dark chocolate frosting. Your recipe (above) looks scrumptious and I may just have to try it!

  253. Cherry chip, sour cream cake doughnut, choc. creme filled, blueberry cake doughnut, apple….I can’t decide I think they are all my favorite.

  254. My favorite doughnut would have to be a custard filled one, with a jelly filled one as a close second. Can’t wait to try these!

  255. “All I Wanted Was a Doughnut” is my all time favorite post of Ree’s! I think of it any time I pass one of those glass cases of doughnuts … thankfully, it has helped me fight the urge to go for one of those tempting treats!
    My favorite doughnut is a plain old fashioned fry cake. Nothing better with a cup of strong coffee! Yum! Maybe even tempting enough to dare to try to open that glass case at the 7-11!

  256. Good old hot glazed is my fav-o-rite, but strawberry iced is a close 2nd. Thanks for the giveaway.

  257. The most popular donut from Amish bakery Rise ‘N Roll in Middlebury, IN – yeasty, chewy, topped with caramel frosting AND powdered sugar?! I die.

  258. my favorites are glazed and the chocolate frosted ones! NO FILLING! my family teases me for my “boring” selections but what can i say? i love the classics!

  259. I love plain cake style donuts…though it’s difficult to say no to one of those custard filled creations!

  260. I LOVE cake donuts. Doesn’t really matter what kind, either, unless they have raisins in them. Only way to ruin a donut, if you ask me 😛

    But, if I had to pick one kind, cinnamon-apple cake donuts are a favorite!

  261. Favorite? But there are so many! OK, OK, Boston Cream Pie filled. Uh oh. I feel a craving coming on.

  262. White creme filling with chocolate glaze on top. Great job on your cabin donuts, it will make a great story how you had to improvise tools:)

  263. Love your improvs! Glazed donuts are great but my fav is a cake donut with sprinkles…must be the kid in me 🙂

  264. Anything filled with bavarian cream, especially if it also has chocolate icing (Dunkin Donuts Boston Cream comes to mind…)

  265. Lemon filled doughnuts are so delicious. The sweet doughnut with the burst of lemon filling in the middle.

  266. I like plain glazed doughnuts. We have a wonderful Amish bakery that sells the best melt in your mouth doughnuts. Good luck everyone.

  267. I adore donuts. My favorite thing. My favorite is probably Apple Crumb, but I also love Apple Spice and in Pompano Beach I had the most awesome Key Lime Donuts. I would love to try and figure out how to make those. These donuts look so good. I think your substitutions were genius. They looked great. Good job.

  268. While my local 24/7 doughnut store has a very tasty peanut butter and jelly donuts, I really like Boston Cream, or for something a bit lighter, glazed lemon-filled.

    Or hot fresh glazed donuts in abundant supply.

  269. I still love those simple donuts you make with a can of refrigerated biscuits and frost with powdered sugar icing. They remind me of those simpler days of childhood.

  270. I love the chocolate glazed with the wonderful creme filling….oh my mouth is watering!!!

  271. I love warm glazed, homemade cake doughnuts like my grandmother used to make and chocolate cake. Is that too many? Oh well!

  272. I love a good cake doughnut with sprinkles. That was the only thing I craved when I was pregnant and that is the only doughnuts the kids want.

  273. I’m not really a huge doughnut lover, but a fresh warm pumpkin donut along a cold cup of fresh cider in the fall….oh my gosh!!!

  274. honey glazed. no, boston creme. no bavarian cream. no, chocolate with chocolate frosting with chocolate sprinkles. no, donut holes. MMMMMM, donuts.

  275. Only one favorite??? I guess raised chocolate glazed! But I love them all…if only they loved me!

  276. My favorite kind of doughnut is from a local small doughnut shop and it is strawberries and creme, basically a creme filled donut filled with both white creme and strawberry filling. Soooo good!

  277. Cake with chocolate frosting and jimmies (sprinkles) preferrably from Maple Donuts in York, PA.

  278. i love the cream filled ones but, I couldn’t pass up an apple fritter or an old fashioned either

  279. Krispy Kremes. However, my realy favorite would be the old fashioned spud nut but you can’t find them anywhere now.

  280. While I have never, ever, never, ever, ever turned down a donut of ANY kind, my favorite donut would have to be a plain or glazed cake donut. I need to find a recipe for those!

  281. Hot jam donut coated in sugar. I had a delicious cherry filled one once when visiting New Zealand.

  282. I love those butternut ones, but I’m not entirely sure what “butternut” entails…haha.

  283. That would be a chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting. No nuts or sprinkles…just delicious chocolate-ness!!!

  284. My all-time favorite is the Boston Creme doughnut. But I’m mighty partial to the glazed Krispy Kreme (in spite of the double K).

  285. it’s a tie between a big ‘ol crispy sticky apple fritter and a chocolate topped Bavarian cream filled donut… I love them both!

  286. Maple bars all the way!! Even my moms homemade doughnuts are made with maple frosting…. So good!! Ree’s look Amazing as well!!

  287. My absolute favorite doughnut is just the plain chocolate sprinkled doughnut!!! Yum yum yum!!!

  288. I prefer cake donuts over the raised type – as for flavor, it would be applesauce, but no flavor would be turned down.

  289. Donuts make my heart sign. My favorite – Vanilla Iced w/Sprinkles or Cinnamon & Sugar. It’s a toss up 🙂
    PS. Ree’s Donut story is by far my favorite!

  290. Bavarian cream with chocolate on top. But really any one is good, can’t say I’ve ever had a bad one!

  291. Must be a cake doughnut… then it is a toss-up between blueberry and chocolate. Both delicious with a little bit of glaze. Oh… and you have to heat it up a little bit for it to be perfection. Uh oh… I gave up sweets for Lent… am I sinning right now thinking about those glorious, sweet little babies?!

  292. A plain donut from Holt’s Bakery in a small town in South GA….memories of my childhood 🙂

  293. Bavarian Cream Filled Chocolate Frosted donuts. You know, big fluffy, donuts with cold Bavarian cream oozing out with each bite you take!!! Chocolate and cream dripping down your chin, around your mouth, and all over your fingers!!! Oh my, why does my nose itch??? Darn, I have to wash off that Glorious confection from my nose!! Sorry, I got lost in the moment!! Anyway, I guess Cream Filled Donuts is my answer.

  294. I love just plain glazed from the Donut Stop in the “big city” These also look so delicious–I must try them!!!

  295. I love the chocolate and maple glazed donuts and I always hmmm and haw about which one I’ll get…and almost always end up getting one of each since I can’t decide.

  296. Those look AMAZING!
    I love a glazed doughnut, or a chocolate doughnut, or a …well I don’t know that I have ever met one I didn’t like 😀

  297. When in calgary try out this joint:
    Jelly Modern Doughnuts
    Its definitely worth the trip/splurge!
    My fave is marshmallohhhhh!!!!

  298. Doughnuts are a dangerous food for me!! I love them all–maple long johns, chocolate cake donuts, plain glazed, etc!! I have never tried making them, but this post might be enough inspiration to try!

  299. It is a toss up between an apple fritter and a devils food donut filled with chocolate – I usually just get both!

  300. There is a small doughnut shoppe in my hometown that makes applesauce doughnuts…yes, they are to die for!!!

  301. My favorite donut is an old fashioned glazed one. They are so light & airy, you almost forget about the calories.

  302. blueberry cake with glaze… omg, I <3 them. I even got my fiance (a starch chocolate donut fan himself) hooked on them. 🙂

  303. I think my favorite is lemon filled – I just love lemon anything! Chocolate icing on raised doughnuts is a close second.

  304. Love mocha flavored donut holes drizzled in chocolate and sprinkled with crushed hazelnuts! YUMMY-LICIOUS!

  305. Favorite donut? This is giving me serious pause.
    I suppose I’ll have to go with cherry filled – those are hard to come by!

  306. So I love them all!!! Glazed is a favorite! Other fav is one with white frosting and lots of sprinkles. Simple and delicious.

  307. I like donuts with cream in the middle – um! LOTS of cream – like Krispy Kreme donuts with white cream inside and a chocolate glaze on top.

  308. Can you say YUM?! My gosh just the pictures make me hungry for these doughnuts! My favorite are the cream filled kind with caramel icing.

  309. My favorite donut is the simple glaze one OR with a maple glaze. Ooohh my mouth is watering for a donut right now.

  310. My absolute favorite is a plain cake donut with chocolate icing!!! But warm, freshly glazed are a close second!

  311. Just a regular ol’ glazed donut! ORRRR a blueberry one this donut shop in our local town has. 🙂

  312. Nothin’ like a good old bavarian with choclate on top…or is it the chocolate glazed? mmmmmm….

  313. Fave donut? that’s easy….the one I’m eating! hee hee! Seriously, I’m a purist — chocolate glazed yeast. Simple but awesome!

  314. Top Pot doughnuts in Seattle followed by Voodoo doughnuts in Portland. Maple Bacon Bars Anyone?

  315. My fave doughnut is a nice and light glazed donut…and these would do just fine! Your pictures are beautiful and these doughnuts look sooooo delish.

  316. Glazed are by far my favorite. This recipe is dangerous! No one should have the power to make awesome doughnuts at home…

  317. Warm homemade donuts from my mother-in-law’s recipe sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. My mouth waters just thinking about them!

  318. My favorite doughnut is a Bismarck! I love the chocolate frosting with the hidden pudding inside. Yum!

  319. Great pictures of your doughnuts. Hope my turn out as well. I love raised glaze doughnuts, slightly warmed in micro (only about 10 seconds, otherwise they get tough.)

  320. Nothing beats a plain glazed doughnut, but I will mix it up every once in a while and have a glazed doughnut with reainbow sprinkles!

  321. I guess my favorite “store-bought” would be an apple fritter. But nothing beats a home-made glazed donut.

  322. Plain, puffy, sugar-coated are my fave. I have never made homemade doughnuts before, but those pictures convince me I need to give it a shot!

  323. My favorite kind of doughnut is the raised glazed that my Uncle’s used to make when I was a kid…just like you made. I always have a problem with the yeast…too hot or too cold.

  324. Glazed Donuts have always been my favorite. I never liked the fruity middles or the chalky chocolate, but I love the sight and taste of the sweet glaze breaking over the soft pastry dough. Delicious!

  325. I have a tea almost once a month, I use the scone recipe in Ree’s cookbook !! Every one just loves it and I get out my cookbook and share it with my friends, I love the step by step pictures !! It is a sure way to not miss any thing !!

  326. Powder sugar donuts are my all time favorite. The only drawback is the sugar down the front of you so I generally make them all as donut holes so a single bite is all that’s necessary and no spilled sugar!

  327. My fav are cake doughnuts. Buttermilk, applesauce or plain. I really never saw a doughnut I did not like.

  328. I feel like such a fatty admitting this, but cream/jelly filled donuts are my fave. I also enjoy popping donut holes like it’s going out of style. Jelly-filled donut holes=no self restraint.

  329. I love your improvisations! The glazed donuts look awesome!
    My favorite donut? The French cruller. Light and airy.
    Yum.

  330. We had a bakery in my hometown that made the lightest, fluffiest chocolate-glazed donuts I have ever had. They went out of business, but I still dream of those yummy donuts!

  331. opld fashioned glazed cake doughnuts with the glaze sugary and heavy …mmmmmmmmmmmmm….and milk…and coffee…and a porch on a mid spring day…or a fireside rocker on a lovely Advent morning with snow sifting down outside, with hot mulled cider.

  332. When Krispy Kreme has the “Hot & Now” sign flashing, and those doughnuts MELT in your mouth like butter!

    I’ve always been intimidated to make ’em; I love how you improvised the cutter. Brilliant (and prettier than a real cutter).

    🙂

  333. I worked in a donut shop in my younger years and the best, I have to say, are warm french crullers.

  334. For a long time, my favorite doughnut was a glazed chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate frosting… but lately, I’ve kind of switched over to the fluffier fried doughnut — still with chocolate frosting, of course. Kind of a theme here, you see.

  335. I love sour cream glazed and Canadian Maple (like a Boston cream except with a maple icing). Yummmmmmmm, I miss Tim Hortons 🙁

  336. Ohhh how I love donuts!!! While I will always be partial to a good ol’ maple bar. I have been known to indulge in some other favorites. Among my favorites are apple fritters, plain glazed (from krispy Kreme) or the cheesecake donuts from Krispy Kreme. Thanks for sharing this post I enjoyed reading about your improvisations. I’ve refrained from trying my hand at donut making because I didn’t have all the required tools, but after reading your post I’m going to look around my house and see if I have anything that might work in place of the things that are required. Thanks!

  337. My favorite are jelly filled!!!! But coming in close second is the basic Chocolate glaze!!! Now I want a doughnut!!!!

  338. Wow this is hard! I have to say i love the classic glaze. PW’s recipe looks to die for!

  339. I love donuts, I have a recipe from 1942 I’ve used until I found this one! Glazed donuts are the best!

  340. Plain glazed like these. I could never make them, I would just go through them all without stopping.

  341. My favorite kind of donut? The kind that is made just like you did…at home with your family!

  342. Raspberry jelly filled. Had to have them delivered to hospital for the second after I gave birth!

  343. my favorite doughnut is chocolate cake glazed. But when it’s fall, I’m all about a pumpkin doughnut. YUM!

  344. My favorite doughnut is a choc cake glazed doughnut. YUM! I may just have to try Ree’s recipe though.. my kids would LOVE it!! Thanks for sharing and the giveaway.

  345. My favorite donut WAS a jelly-cream filled donut from Pauls Home Bake Shop – with real whipped cream. The shop closed many, many years ago but I can still taste and smell it!

  346. I shouldn’t have read this post before breakfast! I’m hungry. Fav doughnut? Gotta be Old fashioned!

  347. Chocolate Frosted!!! I can taste them now..YUM.. (wonder what the weight watcher point value is on those..LOL).
    Thank You for the giveaway and Have a Wonderful Doughnut filled Weekend!!
    Pat Potter – NC Coastal Girl

  348. The White Powder Sugar Coated Donut with Vanilla Cream inside…. But, I’d Take The Chocolate Filled too

  349. My favorite donuts were the ones they made in my highschool. Cake donuts with vanilla buttercream icing and chocolate sprinkles. 30 years later I still think about them!

  350. Hard choice – fresh cake donuts, just plain, are really good, but so are just about every kind of donut!

  351. I love the Boston Cream filled ones although as I get older the glazed chocolate cake donuts are starting to take over.

  352. My favorite doughnuts don’t exist anymore. A fast food restaurant here in the South used to serve up plain, vanilla frosted, or chocolate frosted cake doughnuts for breakfast. In the weeks after my daughter was born, hubs would bring me a chocolate frosted doughnut from there every morning. Unfortunately the restaurant stopped serving those yummy sweets. In 15 years I haven’t yet found a doughnut to compare. Doesn’t keep me from continuing on the quest, though!

  353. There is nothing better than a hot glazed donut with some yummy vanilla cream filling inside. My mouth is now watering…

  354. I haven’t eaten a donut in years, but I used to love blueberry fritters. Planning on trying some baked donuts soon!

  355. I like jelly-filled doughnuts. and creme-filled doughnuts with chocolate frosting (“Boston Creme”)

  356. I have a hard time choosing between little white donuts and bavarian cream filled long johns.

  357. It’s a toss up between chocolate and cake donuts. I usually have to have both!! But then there are fruit fritters. Oh, the lovely choices.

  358. I have celiac and haven’t had a donut in forever!! My old favorites were powered donuts and old-fashioned glazed, but now I will eat ANY gluten free donut (or two….or three……) MMMMM 🙂

  359. My favorite kind of doughnut is these strawberry doughnuts I used to get in Northern Ireland. I can’t find anything like them here in the USA!

  360. asking me to choose my favorite doughnut is like asking Michelle Duggar to choose her favorite child. how can you pick one when you love them all?

    I really love doughnuts.

    [don’t tell the other doughnuts, but a sour cream old fashioned may be a top contender.]

  361. When there was still a Krispy Kreme by me, they had these awesome pumpkin spice donuts! Best thing EVER…now, I just have to settle for blueberry.

  362. I love the boston cream donuts, and any other donut that has a cream filling that is not to sweet.

  363. The best donut is the Angel-filled. Lovely light donut filled with sugary light white fluff. Mmmmm.

  364. Before I had to go gluten-free due to a bad gluten intolerance, my favorite donut was a cake donut with maple frosting.

  365. I love that Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts just melt in your mouth; of course that’s a bad thing too as it makes me want to eat more of them.

  366. Cruellers- my dad makes them every Christmas, his mom made them every Christmas before him:-)

  367. My favorite doughnut right now is a cherry cake doughnut. I just had one last Sunday when we stopped by our local bakery after church.

  368. I love a good cake donut with sprinkles on top – helps me keep my inner-kid alive! Yum!

  369. My favorite are old fashioned, glazed, raised donuts, just like the ones you made. But glazed chocolate cake donuts are a close second!

  370. My favorite doughnut is jelly filled with rasberry jam covered with powder sugar!!!! So yummy good especially with a good cup of coffee!!!

  371. Chocolate cake doughnuts with chocolate frosting and shredded coconut on top…best way to start a day!

  372. I’m not a huge donut fan, but I do like the pumpkin donuts that Krispy Kreme has in the fall!

  373. I love white coconut iced donuts from Shipley’s…but chocolate iced ones are delicious right off the rack at Krispy Kreme. Although I do have to say that your pictures of your homemade donuts gave both of these a run for their money!! Gotta’ try this recipe!!

  374. I love any donut honest but the prefered one would be the ones covered in maple sauce or filled with vanilla pudding now if I could get it with both Id have died and gone to heaven for sure

  375. I don’t eat a lot of donuts but if I had to pick one it would probably be the bavarian creme….it’s so freakin’ good

  376. My all-time favorite donut is a warm original glazed donut from Krispy Kreme. So yummy! Making homemade donuts has kinda scared me but I might have to try Ree’s. Looks good!

  377. My favorite doughnut is by far a homemade sugar doughnut. My mom and I and my neighbor friends would always make these on snow days when I was younger. Brings back so many memories!

  378. When I’m pregnant I crave the cake doughnuts from the gas station Casey’s with the white frosting and white coconut on top.

  379. I used to make donuts for a small shop, and I have to admit, I would sneak a maple bacon doughnut occasionally. Soooo good.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  380. Plain cake doughnuts are actually my favorite kind. There’s something nice and simple about them.

  381. I am a custard-filled bismark kinda gal. Though Duncan Donuts has an awesome chocolate one that is a close second.

  382. The original glazed doughnut is my big time love from the first time i tried it at a Krispy Kreme 🙂

  383. Sour Cream old fashioned, all the way … oh wait, maybe an apple fritter, fresh and warm. Now look what you made me do!! Gonna have to go get me some 🙂

  384. “Glazed”!! I love glazed. My Grandpa used to take us a bakery on Sat nights at 8pm to buy FRESH glazed donuts. We’d go home and he’d have coffee with his and we’d have milk…….it was heavenly Hot Glazed donuts.
    It’s a great memory…..

  385. I’m a plain jane traditional glazed doughnut kind of girl…that’s my perference. I’ll eat others but if i have to pick; just give me a warm glazed doughnut!!

  386. I LOVE bavarian cream doughnuts! Nothing else compares to perfect proportions of powered sugar and oozing bavarian cream in a soft sweet bread. YUM!

  387. My favorite is a simple glazed yeast donut, or if I want to splurge, I will get a icing filled donut with chocolate glaze on the top.

  388. Krispy Kreme … chocolate glazed. Gosh I haven’t had one in forever it seems.

    If they were homemade though I think I’d go for blueberry cake to dunk in my coffee.

  389. A regular cake doughnut with chocolate frosting and nuts on top…brings me back to my childhood!

  390. Cream or raspberry filled. If I ever come across a shop that offers a cream and raspberry filled doughnut, I might die.

  391. I love an old fashioned (regular kind) with a cup of coffee! I also love the Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice when it is out for the season.

  392. Umm….don’t hate me but I just don’t love donuts. But on the rare occasion I have one it is either a chocolate glazed one or one of those sugar coated ones.

  393. My favorite kind of doughnuts are the jelly-filled doughnuts. The chocolate glaze comes in a close second.

  394. These look so yummy!!! We love doughnuts at our house, will have to try these instead of driving an hour to Krispy Kreme.

  395. Donut holes. Yes, that is, too, a kind. Preferably glazed. Perfect for eating while you are driving, doing paperwork, etc., because you pop one in your mouth and still have hands free while you chew – no sticky half-eaten donut waving in the air while you try not to get flecks of glazed donut covering stuck in your keyboard.

  396. Definitely Krispy Kreme – either the raspberry filled or the chocolate iced creme filled. Doughnut love!

  397. ANY doughnut that is fresh and warm is my very favorite! However, I do love apple fritters even if they’re cold.

  398. I love custard filled donuts with chocolate icing. And I love they way you improvised how you cut your donuts!

  399. I’d have to say a maple bar with fluffy frosting (not maple glaze). In elementary school our cooks made the best maple bars and cinnamon rolls ever!!! I can’t say I’ve ever turned many doughnuts down, though. They are a weakness.

  400. My favorite kind of donaught would have to be good ole’ Krispy Kreme glazed. Hot from the oven. Yummm!!

  401. Well, I did try out a bacon and maple glazed donut recently and it was swoon-worthy. But my fave has to be traditional glazed cake donuts…mmmm!

  402. I do love Krispy Kreme fresh off the line (go in when the Hot and Now sign is lit up and get a free one!) but my favorite kind is apple fritters. Thanks for the give away!

  403. I know it’s unheard of, but I’m really not that big of a fan of doughnuts… unless they are had for dessert instead of breakfast, THAT I can do. A warm glazed cinnamon doughnuts take the cake on that (har har, no pun intended).

  404. There is a little place in Gatlinburg TN called the Donut fryer that serves the most incredible cinnamon twists. But, let’s be real I’m not picky when it comes to donuts.

  405. Has to be glazed…..I go for the seasonal stuff but always come back to the sticky gooey comfort of a slightly warm glazed donut (preferably from DD or Tim Hortons)

  406. I love malasadas from Leonard’s Bakery in Hawaii. Grew up there and miss these. They are made when you order them, so they are hot. These are Portuguese donuts dredged in sugar or cinnamon sugar. You can also get them filled with haupia (coconut pudding), chocolate, etc. Yummmmmmm.

  407. I worked in a bakery while in high school and Wednesday was Lemon-Filled Bismarck day! The owner always saved one for me to have before I started work after school!!!

  408. I suppose if coffee cake is a donut then that would be it. My Grannie used to make the best coffee cake…..

  409. Mmmm….donuts! I love apple fritters and boston cream donuts – neither of which are the traditional donut.

  410. We have a local donut sandwich place called Mr. Bills. All the donuts are YUM. Thanks for the contest.

  411. I love old fashioned donuts. Love the edge around the donut, it gets kinda crispy. Yum. btw, great job improvising on the donut making. Makes me want to attempt it myself.

  412. Krispy Kreme have always been my favorite since I am a Southern girl….but this recipe sure makes me want to try to make my own. Wonder if my boss would let me off work this afternoon to go home and try out this recipe?

  413. Maple bacon donuts from a locally owned couple The Donut Whole in Wichita, KS. They make the most off the wall concoctions but they are so yummy.

  414. Favorite doughnuts, the yummy kind that my grandma made in her kitchen. I’m always trying to duplicate them!

  415. I love Krispy Kreme glazed donuts if they are “Hot Now,” but I’m also super fond of their chocolate glazed icing filled ones. Mmmmmm!

  416. Cream Horns, from Spooner Bakery in NW Wisconsin. Best I have ever eaten!!!! Wish i could make them myself…..

  417. Chocolate glazed, which is weird for me, because I’m really not that wild about chocolate things.

  418. doughnuts, oh, doughnuts, oh, how i love thee… warm and plain glazed, especially:) sure would be fun to try Ree’s recipe, so i really need that cookbook!

  419. Oh it has to be vanilla cream filled doughnuts. I love them and haven’t had them in a long time. I love to cook.

  420. I haven’t allowed myself to have one of these in years BUT my favorite was and still is the Bavarian cream filled or fruit filled donuts!

  421. Sour cream cake doughnuts. I like the split craggy part that holds all the glaze and that it’s dense.

  422. Hey, a doughnut is a doughnut…. Does it really matter on the kind. I’ll take it! “Hey, Mikey, he likes it!”

  423. I love doughnuts made with maple! I bet this could be added to this recipe with delicious results!

  424. I am definitely a glazed doughnut lover. OH! Or the crillers that you get in the yellow box at the grocery store. Those are delicious!

  425. My favorite donut is my aunts recipe…. MMMMM it’s glazed and has chocoloate icing and are the best frozen…… MMMMMMM I must go get a donut!!

  426. My favorite donut is a simple sugar coated or glazed yeast donut. Maple doughnuts are also a favorite.

  427. You can’t beat a hot glazed Krispy Kreme donut …..unless you accompany it with a KK pumpkin spice one!

  428. My favorite donuts are chocolate donuts from Allie’s Doughnuts in Rhode Island. Best I’ve ever had!

  429. My favorite kind of donut is the pumpkin spice donut at Krispy Kreme! My favorite donut memory however, are the homemade ones my mom used to make out of canned biscuits for special breakfasts! I love those so much.

  430. I love , like, need, maple icing donuts! oh my mouth is watering………..I must go to the kitchen!

  431. I guess that I have never really grown up I still love Doughnut holes. I can remember my Dad taking me to Shipley’s Doughnuts in Houston, Texas and gobbling them with with a big glass of chocolate milk.

  432. My favorite kind of doughnut is a cinnamon cake doughnut from a cider mill. A side cup of cider is also brilliant.

  433. We love “peanut” doughnuts but no one makes them anymore because of food allergies so I have to make my own. This recipe above for the glazed doughnuts would be wonderful base for the peanut doughnuts.

  434. a white cake donut with white icing and sprinkles, served with chocolate milk. takes me back to the donut shop on the square as a kiddo 🙂

  435. My old favorite was maple and my new favorite is mape with bacon. Everything is better with bacon.

  436. Either a warm plain glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme or an old-fashioned sour cream doughnut… but really, they’re all so yummy, so how to choose? =)

  437. I love Krispy Kreme donuts too…..but the closest one to us is 150 miles away. So we don’t get them very often.

  438. I love a normal long donut with lots of chocolate on it! Chocolate donuts bring back childhood memories!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  439. My husband got me hooked on peanut donuts, that we can only find on the east coast for some reason.

  440. I love chocolate donuts with a peanut butter filling and of course glazed donuts. Can’t forget those chocolate bars though. Wait was I only suppose to chose one??

  441. I love Boston Cream donuts but after reading this, I migth become a glazed donut fan!! Love Pioneer Woman!

  442. Those donuts look scrumptious! My favorite are actually from a local bakery in TX — Round Rock donuts. Just a buttery, yellow, divine donut. The best. I can’t wait to get my hands on this cookbook. Thanks!

  443. My husband’s favorite kind of doughnut is plain and home made. He had a sort of 2nd Mom when he was growing up that made home made doughnuts. Ive heard about these home made doughnuts for years! My favorite is chocolate cake doughnuts. Yum!

  444. I must admit I like the plainer donuts – cake donuts with cinnamon sugar or maybe cider donuts. Congrats on such a wonderful job of improvising! I suspect lots of us would need to do the same, and it’s good to know it can be done, and done well.

  445. Favorite doughnut? Like we could pick just one?? I really like the bear claws with the almond filling, but I also like the cake doughnuts with the chocolate frosting and sprinkles to, as long as they are FRESH! Your doughnuts turned out amazing, I love the way you improvised!

  446. The ones just like you made from the book. Sweet warm and fresh….You say donut around here and you get cheers!

  447. I love a warm raised glazed donut. The plain kind. Just like what you made above. All those fancy donuts are wasted on me.

  448. My favorite doughnuts of all time – raspberry filled, chocolate covered raised donuts. These are the made with the light fluffy dough, then filled with raspberry filling and dipped in chocolate. Good grief Charlie Brown. They are soooooooooooooo good. I’ve had them three times in last 30 years – find them in random spots when we are on vacation. With a big cup of hot coffee – delicious.

  449. Well, either an old-fashioned doughnut or an apple fritter will work for me! Unfortunately, (or fortunately?) I do dearly pert-near love any kind of doughnut:)

  450. My favorite kind of doughnut? doughnut holes. who cares how many you eat when they’re so small you can’t count them? 😉 and they must be gluten free…

  451. Jelly filled – but not that gross sickey sweet gloppy stuff some places use – real grape jelly filling is a must!

  452. Simple Glazed every time. Next to a cup of extra strong, extra sweet and extra creamy coffee. Yum.

  453. I like buttermilk bars. We live hours away from them now, so every few months it is off to the world of stores and buttermilk bars. yum

  454. My favorite donut is regular, raised and glazed. Fresh from the fryer with warm glaze and a cup of coffee. Pretty close to heaven if you ask me!

  455. jelly – always has been. Although I had a maple donut with my husband the other day that was delish!

  456. My favorite kind is hot and fresh with a simple glaze…the kind that melt in your mouth when you bite into them!!

  457. My favorite donut is hot & fresh Krispy Kreme’s! Anything maple is a close second though. 🙂

  458. Spudnuts from the Spudnut shop in Richland, WA. They’re made from potatoes, and DIVINE! Something between a raised and cake doughnut – perfect!

  459. My quilty pleasure is sitting and (over)eating of anything sweet, mainly candy. Any kind of candy. At Christmas time, I love Christmas candy, at Easter I love Easter candy and at Valentines I love Valentines candy and…………………………….

  460. Maple bacon bars are my absolute favorites! And if those aren’t available, a good old-fashioned chocoate will do.

  461. My favorite is maple doughnuts. OMG they are amazing, and great for breakfast cause they taste like maple syrup.

  462. maple glazed real bacon bits donuts. i have to make sure i avoid even the street the bakery is on.

  463. I NEED to make those doughnuts! But my favorite are pumpkin cake doughtnuts with vanilla frosting. Makes my mouth water just typing those words. :o)

  464. Krispy Kreme chocolate covered creme filled…. or homemade if I happen to have patience that day 🙂

  465. I have to admit I’m a little partial to crullers. Also those powdered sugar donuts. Either would do.

  466. Oh yum! Can’t wait to try those!! When I was a kid we didn’t have any kind of donut shop close by so we used to take those pop-cans of premade biscuits (love that Pillsbury Dough Boy!) put holes in the middle of each biscuit and then pan fry them in a little bit of oil. They’d puff up and make pretty great FAKE donuts. Sprinkle them with some brown sugar and cinnamin and poof you’d have quick donuts. I make them (rarely) for my boys now and it reminds me of growing up in my tiny little town!

  467. I love old fashioned doughnuts, with all the craginess to it.

    And Ree’s confessions post about the doughnuts is one of my favorites as well–so hilarious and cringe-inducing!

  468. These look so good, I will have to get my husband, the chef, to make them! I love “Tom Thumb” mini dooughnuts at the Minnesota State Fair!!! (It can’t be any other kind for me!)

  469. Donuts are NOT on my diet, but I’m really hungry for a Krispy Kreme cream-filled glazed donut!

  470. My favorite donut is a “Hot Now” Krispy Kreme. They actually melt (dissolve) in your mouth (which makes it easy to eat a lot of them)!

  471. I really love a plain, glazed donut. When I was a little girl, my dad would always take me to the donut shop and I would get a glazed twist. So yummy!

  472. I’m all about the powder sugar doughnuts, especially from Top Pot (Seattle). Or fair doughnuts when they shake them up with cinnamon sugar in paper bags.

  473. My favorite donut is a glazed donut topped with a cream cheese mixture, topped with a cherry topping. A mom and pop donut shop makes these donuts, they sell out quickly.

    Chris M

  474. Apple fritters from Bob’s Coffee & Donuts in the Farmers Market in Los Angeles on Third & Fairfax

  475. kruellers always seem to do it for me, or old fashioned cake w rainbow sprinkles – but ONLY if it’s white frosting!

  476. Chocolate filled and the exterior just covered in powdered sugar. The messier the better.

  477. Found your site from Pioneer Woman’s and loven’ it. How can you pick just one donut to favor, hmmmm? So many are so yummy. For starters, I’d say a toss up between cinnamon-sugar cake donut and glazed — but it’s getting harder to find really good ones out in the world. Then there are those lovely jelly gooey donuts, too. Guess it’s time to take the leap and try making ’em at home and stop complaining. LOL

  478. I, too, made doughnuts over spring break for my 5 year old grandson. He was SO amazed that a person could actually MAKE donuts. He thought you had to buy them at the bakery. I love it when I amaze my grandkids 🙂 My favorite doughnut is a plain old glazed. YUM!

  479. My favorite kind is the unexpected gluten free doughnut that I see in the grocery store. I love to adapt from cookbooks but it’s a treat to see gf in the stores!

  480. I love chocolate bars…or cinnamon twists….or creme brulee donuts from Donut Plant in NYC!

  481. I loved how you improvised. I’ve used a bottle top many times to cut out “holes” for doughnuts. An antique vase would be much more fun. I like most any doughnut, but my favorite still has to be a nice, warm glazed doughnut. Yours look delicious.

  482. Oh man, i like donuts. I enjoy sugar/cinnamon cake donuts…but there is nothing like the perfect, plain glazed donut!!

  483. I love apple fritters! But there is also a special place in my heart for maple glazed donuts.

  484. I love chocolate glazed donuts. I found my mom’s old doughnut cutter in her things and I am going to make the homemade glazed donuts in memory of her; these were here very favorite. Thanks for your wonderful site….and all your time…..

  485. It’s a toss up between the APPLESAUCE DOUGHNUT available only on FRIDAY and the BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUT on THURSDAY & SATURDAY in West Seattle – lived just down the street from it for about a year and gained at least 5 lbs.

  486. Although there are no longer any in my area, my favorite is Dunkin Dounuts! The one filled with frosting!!!! Yummmmmmy!

  487. Favorite donut – that is easy! Chocolate cake donut with a glaze or chocolate frosting! Can’t get enough chocolate!

  488. I used to be a chop suey girl myself, but then I had to go gluten free. I’ve only had a couple of donuts since doing that, and they’re okay but not mouth singing. Someday, I’ll taste the perfect one and life will never be the same…

  489. My favorite kind of doughnut is a chocolate covered long john with a custard filling…YUMMO! I think I just gained 10 pounds thinking about them.

  490. A fresh, still warm, melt in your mouth glazed donut! YUM! Then I’ll take a chocolate coverred cream filled, then a powdered, a cinnamon, and a cake donut please. And some coffee to wash it all down. And then a gym membership.

  491. Glazed from Krispy Kreme, I could eat a dozen hot off the line when I was in my 20’s. Now in my 60’s, I have developed an allergy to yeast, can you believe it???? Ugh, maybe I ate too many back then. Loved them!!

  492. Chocolate covered cream filled! My mouth is watering just thinking about them! These donuts look amazing too!

  493. Old fashioned buttermilk cake doughnuts. No frosting, sprinkles or filling – just the doughnut.

  494. One of these days, we’re going to try making doughnuts at home, probably even giving a shot to making jelly-filled doughnuts for Hanukkah. That would be so fun! Thank you for the giveaway. 🙂

  495. We live in the heart of amish Indiana. We have a bakery about a half hour away that makes the most delicious pillows of air that they call doughnuts. THE flavor to get is the carmel cinnamon powdered doughnut. Heavenly!

  496. I love, love, love donuts of any kind! But the absolute best would be a warm, glazed one — oh how yummy!!!

  497. hot glazed Krispy Kreme , unfortunately since we live in t IL we only get them once a year when we go “home” to NC.

  498. I think my favorite kind of doughnut is the plain old glazed one. I have wonderful memories of my mom making these and letting them “dry” on a “doughnut tree” that my grandpa made her. Yum!

  499. My favorite donut is a sour cream one from Donut Dip just outside Springfield, MA! It’s amazing!

  500. Those look like they could be my new favorite! i haven’t made them ever, but this post has convinced me that i need to!

  501. I’m a “I’ll eat any kind of donut there is” kinda girl. I haven’t made these donuts YET but everything else that I’ve EVER made from the PW’s site has been OUTSTANDING!

  502. I’ve never made my own doughnuts, so currently my favorite doughnuts are the Krispy Kreme ones when the sign says HOT NOW! :), somehow, the car just seems to navigate its own way right in there. 🙂

  503. I love a chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate frosting. Second runner up is a hot fresh glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme. Now I’ll have to try this recipe and make my own!

  504. My very favorite donut is the glazed donuts. Have made Ree’s glazed recipe for my grandsons.

  505. my mom made these on saturdays for my brothers, my sister and me as kids and it is still my favorite. glad to see homemade is making a comeback

  506. I like the original glazed donut …but really love a good apple fritter!!! Spice donuts are always good too, but I can’t eat just one!!!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  507. When I was growing up in Ohio, my dear mother set aside a Saturday morning every so often and we made semi-homemade doughnuts from refrigerated biscuits. We had two flavors: powdered sugar and a cinnamon-sugar. Today I make them for my own children and have added glazed to the mix. YUM!! Thank you for your generosity!
    Brenda

  508. French Cruller! It’s so light and Airy! Or one with toasted coconut on it. I can’t say no to coconut!

  509. Definitely glazed. Deliciously simple and always satisfying! Krispy Kreme has always been my drug, ahem…doughnut of choice. But I can’t wait to try these! Thank you for the opportunity!

  510. I love apple fritters. They are sold with donuts, so I guess they are donuts, right? Whatever they are, they are amazing!

  511. I love cake donuts! Especially the tres leches donut from the donut from the doughnut plant in NY. I would love to be able to make these delicious circles full of caramelly cream at home!

  512. Homemade donuts, of course! Dipped in melted butter, then rolled in granu sugar w cinnamon!!

  513. My favorite kind is Krispy Kreme-like doughnuts! Not the creme-filled ones, though… Too sweet 🙂

  514. So delicious! I’ve got to try home made donuts again. It’s been a while, just made muffins Friday and put some of the batter in a doughnut pan and baked them. Good, but not as good as these! Thanks for the chance to win Ree’s cookbook!

  515. There is a place in Destin, FL, that has the best vanilla frosting filled cake donuts with powdered sugar. They are like a dessert!

  516. Homemade donuts are my favorite. If I buy a doughnut, then it would be chocolate. One of these days I will try homemade chocolate doughnuts!

  517. I don’t get to eat donuts anymore, because I have to be gluten free. But, I used to love the cream filled from Krispy Kreme.

  518. Depends on my mood! Apple fritters usually, but plain glazed are amazing when they’re fresh!

  519. Until now I would have said a hot Krispy Kreme but I’m telling you these pictures just made my mouth water. Literally! I need that cookbook.

  520. How do you pick a favorite? I love them all!!! But, if I have to pick one, I’d have to say a glazed donut with coconut sprinkles.

  521. Glazed, please. I know danish aren’t donuts but the cherry/cream cheese ones are to die for!

  522. Definitely Krispy Kreme…because they are so delectable, doughnuts are one of the very few confections I have not tried to make…I just don’t see the point! However, if I win this cookbook I will give them a try 🙂

  523. I’m not sure I can choose a favorite……..so many donuts, so little time! Glazed, jelly and cream filled long johns have to be at the top of the list though!

  524. I’m a sucker for a krueller…then again almost ANY doughnut gets my instant approval. 🙂 There’s a place in Dallas called Hypnotic Donuts and you’d have to see them to believe them. Yes, I tried one – the Jenny’s Evil Elvis – it’s a doughnut slathered with peanut butter, sliced bananas and bacon and then drizzled with honey. Now you see why it’s EVIL! LOL

  525. Buttermilk old-fashioned, yeast glazed, pineapple cake, crullers. I never touch doughnuts because I love them so much I would never stop. I will be making this recipe soon though because the twenty-something young men in my house see the photos. I would LOVE this cookbook as much as I treasure her first one.

  526. Boston Creme — decadent and definitely not good for the hips but good for the taste buds!

  527. I love the doughnut holes because I can eat MORE. my favorite is plain with chocolate icing of course.

  528. My favorite doughnut is all of them of course. I guess if I had to pick just one it would have to be a blueberry cake doughnut.

  529. I love an oldfashioned cinnamon sugar cake, or a Boston cream or a French cruller.
    There is a local joint with a really yummy orange frosted one. I think I like donuts a little too much.

  530. I like old-fashioned donuts with chocolate frosting… or really any donut with chocolate frosting. 🙂

  531. My absolute favorite doughnut is the glazed buttermilk bar!! Crispy, sweet on the outside and crumbly, buttermilky on the inside. It’s perfect.

  532. Not sure which kind of doughnut is my favorite … but surely …. this recipe will be my NEW favorite. Thanks.

  533. Hands down, Apple Fritters! I’ve only tried twice to make my own, unsuccessfully, but these look wonderful! I will try them. Thanks for sharing your experience with your dear daughters and doughnuts! Enjoy the forsythia!

  534. Wow… what a great giveaway. My favorite donut is the glazed hole believe it or not. Glazed donut hole. I can pop them in my mouth like popcorn… Yummmmmm!!

  535. My favorite doughnut(s) are the white cake doughnut with white frosting and sprinkles, and my other favorite is the giant cinnamon roll doughnut with chocolate frosting.

  536. Favorite doughnut: raspberry-filled, hands down! Looking forward to checking out your blog – just found it via Pioneer Woman! Happy cooking! 🙂

  537. Apple Fritters and those I make at home using canned biscuits but I am so eager to make it from scratch!

  538. Definitely love the hot Krispy Kreme’s. Plus the chocolate covered iced filled ones too! Really haven’t met a doughnut that I didn’t like.

  539. Many years ago (35+) I made 17 – 20 dozen doughnuts from scratch in the HS cafeteria where I was working and they were some of the best I’ve ever eaten even if I do say so myself. I love really fresh glazed doughnuts but I’ve never been fond of the Crispy Cream doughnuts. They just aren’t very good unless you get them right off the conveyor belt.

  540. White cake doughnut holes have always been my favorite. Regular glazed…like these…come in second!

  541. I love making my own tossed in a paper bag with cinnamon and sugar. Piping hot, there’s nothing better on this planet. Although, I can’t wait to try Ree’s recipe! :O) Thanks for the inspiration to make dougnuts with my 2 year old this weekend, he’ll LOVE THEM!

  542. We have this new little doughnut shop that does all kinds of delicious things with dough…my favorite is the Bacon and Maple Glaze doughnut! Sweet…salty…yummy!

  543. My mother was raised in Missouri Valley Iowa and there used to be a bakery (Bower’s Bakery) on the little Main St. that made the most fabulous doughnut called a “lindy”. It had the best maple cream frosting and was a thick chewy doughnut. Every time we visited we would get dozens of them for all of us grand-kids and aunts and uncles!!! The bakery is no longer and I wish I could find something that compares to the “lindy” doughnut!!!

  544. I love maple bars and chocolate icing donuts! YUM “Top Pot” Donuts is one of my favorite here in Seattle…not too sweet 😀

  545. We have a family bakery near us that makes a snicker donut – white cake donut with chocolate and caramel icing and dipped in peanuts!

  546. Is Maple Bar a “doughnut” lol I really like a glazed old fashoned! And this was a great way to find na new recipe site!! Can’t wait to try your tzatziki recipe. I have only recently discovered this dish and I LOVE it.
    Thanks again.

  547. My favorite doughnut is a yeast raised …glazed…. with chocolate icing on top. When I was little….my Mama used to make what she called ‘spudnuts’….they actually had real mashed potatoes in them….they were like Krispy Kreme doughnuts……only much bigger. I’ve never been a fan of a cake doughnut…guess I’m spoiled. lol

  548. I love this post. I was just in the grocery store today and could smell their doughnuts and was so tempted to get one but managed to resist. I would feel much better if I made homemade doughnuts (there is something better bout that, right? RIGHT!?). My favorite doughnut is the maple bar, but I really don’t discriminate!

  549. I love glazed doughnuts…am going to follow your directions and try making these this week-end.

  550. My favorite doughnut is a “Chocolate Bar”. Love when the underside has lil crunchy areas and you get some crunch with each bite! YUMMY

  551. I’ve always loved the donuts topped with chocolate and sprinkles. Makes me feel like a kid again! 🙂

  552. Maple doughnuts are my favorite! I really liked how you improvised with the recipe as you went along. I end up having to do that all the time. They look fabulous!

  553. My grandmother, whom I am honored to be named after and I will see again in heaven, used to make
    doughnuts and shake them with cinnamon sugar in a brown paper bag. I can’t say I’ve ever had a doughnut anywhere else as good as hers.

  554. My favorite doughnuts are buttermilk – and its been a while since I had one. Must remedy that!

  555. When I was a little girl – so many eons ago, my Daddy’s Mom – my Grammie made homemade doughnuts whenever we visited. They were a plain fried doughnut and the best I’ve ever eaten. I have the recipe and whenever I make them memories of those bygone days come back and I smile. 🙂

  556. My favorite kind of doughnut is definitely chocolate! But these look delicious- I can’t wait to try them!

  557. My favorite kind of doughnut is cream filled topped with chocolate! It tastes like boston cream pie!

  558. I’d say that it’s MUCH better than second place, but maybe not to the girls. Those donuts look amazing, and what clever cutters! You were brave to try it without the mixer, but it makes me braver since they turned out so well. Yum!

  559. My favorite donuts are the ones our neighbor made when I was a little girl. My mom tried so hard to make them as good as she could, but they never turned out the same! Great memories.

  560. Apple Fritters, they are so yummy, but have to only have them once in a while. Thanks for asking.

  561. My favorite doughnut is the maple glazed. No cream filling, just simply covered in a delicious maple glaze. YUM!

  562. I love cake donuts my mother used to make for us. Rolled in cinnamon sugar while warm. The donuts look wonderful. Gonna try receipe.

  563. I love the plain, old-fashioned, dunking-style doughnuts–cakelike, with a hint of nutmeg, and deep-fat fried so that you can taste the grease for hours after you eat one!!

  564. The kind with white cream inside (not custard) and chocolate frosting, hopefully with sprinkles.

  565. My favorites are old fashioned glazed, or maple bars. yum! My kids love regular raised doughnuts, so I may have to give this recipe a try since they beg for doughnuts almost every weekend!

  566. I love the plain glazed doughnut but I also enjoy a chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate glaze on top. Yummy!!!!

  567. HI, my kitchen is the size of the inside of a Subaru Forester, so I have found the place in my town, Bozeman MT, that makes the best, Fresh Fruit inside and Fresh Fruit glazes, oh what fun it is on a Sat. Morn to go get fresh fruity goodness only at Granny’s Doughnuts……………………………………………………….

  568. Lemon filled or glazed or cinnamon sugar, I can’t decide, there is just too many to choose just one.

  569. My favorite doughnut is a tie between a cinnamon sugar cake doughnut or a chocolate iced WITH sprinkles chocolate cake doughnut. 🙂

  570. The long johns filled with cream- not custard : ) And chocolate covered cinnamon rolls… mmmm…

  571. I love, love, love a Bavarian Cream doughnut with a tall glass of ice cold milk, followed up with a delicious Boston Cream doughnut. Yummo!!

  572. My favorite donut of all time was the Whole Wheat Donuts that were sold at Chock Full O” Nuts restaurants in the 60’s. Haven’t been able to find anything that is close. I also like the glazed chocolate donuts at Dunkin’ Donuts.

  573. My family loves raised doughnuts with regular cofectioner icing. I would love to have one of the PW cookbooks. Am so glad to find your site.

    Thanks, Carolyn

  574. my favorite donuts are chocolate, covered in cinnamon sugar…guess I’ll have to start using this recipe and making them at home since I almost never find them in stores. Thanks Wendy!

  575. I’ve never met a doughnut I didn’t like…but my favorite is the classic plain glazed.

  576. I had the best Bavarian Cream doughnut at 5 a.m. one morning when my boyfriend and I went duck hunting. Was it the gooey, creamy filling or just the company that made me happy to be awake on a river before sunrise? Hmmm… 😉

  577. My favorite is the Cruller. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to win Ree’s new cookbook. Nice to meet you.

  578. Just one favorite kind of donut … not possible. But, I will try to narrow it down, LOL. Sour cream donuts, chocolate glazed with cream and KK original glazed (hot, fresh, now 🙂 ) are all too good to resist.

  579. The plain ol glazed doughnuts from Missy’s doughnut shop in Guthrie, OK!! They are light, fluffy, soft and wonderful!!

  580. I love all sorts of doughnuts but my favorite are apple. When I see them I think of my mama and I making them when I was a little girl. Those memories make them that much more special.

  581. I would have to say it’s strong tie between glazed (any type) and a Bismark (custard filled with chocolate on top)

  582. My favorite donut is made with a yeast dough, filled with raspberry jam and smothered with chocolate frosting. I like round donuts best, long johns just don’t do anything for me.

  583. Chocolate donuts are my absolute favorite, but you can’t ever go wrong with glazed either!

  584. Homemade sound so mouth-watering, I guess second-best would be Krispy Creme chocolate glazed.

  585. You cannot beat plain old glazed doughnuts. Of course coconut doughnuts would come a close second.

  586. When I was a kid, after a good dental checkup, my mom would take me across the street to the donut shop for a chocolate cruller. I still have to buy one every time I go back to my hometown.

  587. Good ole glazed donut is my favorite. Might just have to try to make my own though after seeing this post!

  588. My Swedish grandmother’s homemade donuts with lots of powdered sugar! We have them every December 13th to celebrate St. Lucia’s Day and our Swedish heritage.

  589. Chocolate glazed donuts from our local bakery. Now I am going to have to stop and get one on the way to work tomorrow!

  590. I don’t know that I have a favorite doughnut–hmmm. If I had to pick, probably blueberry. Thanks for the chance to win.

  591. Glazed with lots of glaze! So fresh that they are still warm and melt the glaze. Ooey gooey goodness!

  592. Pure, simple, glazed doughnuts… when they are perfectly moist and chewy and melt in your mouth.

    Aghh, now I have a serious craving!

  593. Oh my goodness, if I win, we may have to make those donuts first…and we just joined the health club! 😛

  594. Plain cake donuts are my fav, unless I’m at Voodoo in Portland when I get the bacon maple bar 🙂

  595. I have so many, but if I must choose its Chocolate Covered Custard Filled.. yum, yum! Enjoyed watching you cook with The Chew cast.

  596. I have two favorite donuts! This first is raised and glazed and the second is made with left over mashed potatoes!

  597. My fav is powdered sugar doughnuts. A crispy outer shell covered with sweet, fluffy goodness. . . Heaven.

  598. has to be choclate glazed dognuts or blueberry cake like donughts.i love both and both i guess are my favorites

  599. Ooh, I love old fashioneds and bismarcks. Though the homemade ones from Pioneer Woman are super awesome (just take more effort to get).

  600. Ahhh, French cruellers are my absolute favorite when I can find them and when they are not overcooked. Otherwise, I LOVE raised, glazed donuts – either plain glazing or maple. Somehow they are a Saturday morning seduction.

  601. Hands down it’s a piping hot fresh apple fritter. You bite in and get the donut plus bits of apple. YUMMMM-EE!

  602. I have 2 favorites, Raised Glazed donuts, or the old-fashioned plain donut that is crispy on the edges! Yum, yum, yum!

  603. I love fresh plain glazed doughnuts, so good! But, chocolate glazed doughnuts are too good to pass ?up. Can I have two favorites?

  604. I love Sugar Twists! So nice to have found your site from The Pioneer Woman. I’ll be visiting again.

  605. The chocolate frosted chocolate cake donut from Dunkin Donuts. With Dunkin Donuts coffee, which is my favorite, too!

  606. I think my alltime favorite would be glazed…how can one improve on that??!! I love them!!

  607. I think those turned out perfectly. I like chocolate icing the best, I think. Maybe with a few sprinkles. Thanks for this chance to win.

  608. I love chocolate covered doughnuts with sprinkles! They remind me of Saturday morning breakfast with my dad while my mom slept late.

  609. It’s 8:57PM and I am now hankering for Krispy Kremes, thanks a lot. If I had this cookbook, I could just make some… just sayin’! Please!

  610. Raised with Chocolate glaze! Been thinking about trying Ree’s and now you have convinced me to go for it!

  611. the good ole glazed donuts are my favorite. If I can get them when they are still warm, even better! Mmm I want to try this recipe.

  612. The white cake donughnuts with white icing & lots of sprinkles….or the plain old raised glazed are great too!

  613. Plain yeast doughnuts, just like the ones you made, are my favs but every now and then I do enjoy a good blueberry doughnut.

  614. Spudnuts! I grew up in Idaho and our ‘doughnuts’ were made with either mashed potatoes in them or dehydrated potato flakes…… Love me some spudnuts with a sugar glaze!

  615. My favorite donut is the whatever I have in front of me. LOL Oh, ok – I love just simple glazed. Either that or Bavarian cream filled with chocolate frosting.

  616. I daydream about the warm, filled Bavarian donut from a concession stand at a carnival. It was airy, soft, and smelled intoxicating. All donuts are measured against that one experience from 40 years ago.

  617. My favorite donut would have to be the strawberry glazed ones, oh and the little donut holes too.

  618. Cake donuts with TONS of chocolate icing! Also – those little donuts covered in powdered sugar are a great fast treat (just not in the car!)

  619. Doughnuts are like ice cream. The question may not be what is my favorite, but rather what is my favorite on any given day? Today, I can tell you that my favorite doughnut….for today….is a filled version. Bavarian creme. Next to that is my dad’s homemade sourdough frontier doughnut. Thanks for asking!

  620. I don’t eat doughnuts anymore. I use to like the kind stuffed with custard cremes and powdered.

  621. My favorite store bought doughnuts are the bavarian creme filled ones. Homemade is always glazed.

  622. I have two, either an old-fashioned glazed donut or a Boston kreme donut. Usually I can’t choose and I end up getting both. YUMMY!!!

  623. Ok, I was gonna Krispy Cream but I just made these and they are my new favorite donut ever. I’m in heaven. Amen. That is all.

  624. Thanks for letting me sit by you at the signing yesterday! Ree was amazing and I would love a cookbook! My favorite doughnut is chocolate!

  625. My fav doughnut is an Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cake Doughnut from Krispy Kreme. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  626. The “old Fashioned” doughnuts, I think that’s what they call them… When they are done right the flavor is to die for!!

  627. Omigosh! I hate myself for even thinking about doughnuts! Love those twistie cinnamon sugar ones, fresh from the fryer!

  628. Sour cream glazed! I especially like Tim Horton’s donuts, but the closest one is over a days drive away (as far as I know).

  629. I like glazed donuts!! These looks just like what I make. I will have to try Rees recipe out. I have her first cookbook which was signed at a book signing, so would love to have this one, too.

  630. Love the old recipe Chocolate Honey Dipped from Dunkin Donuts…the best ever! (With coffee, of course!)

  631. MAPLE BARS!!! But I have to say the donuts you made using Ree’s recipe looked amazing!!

  632. I love going to my neighborhood donut shop and picking up their CINNAMON ROLL DOUGHNUT! A doughnut rolled in with cinnamon-y, sugary, and buttery goodness?! Amazing. 🙂

  633. My favorite kind of doughnut is “old fashioned.” No glaze. No sprinkles. No maple goo. Just plain jane, to dunk in my coffee old fashioned doughnut.

  634. It sounds ridiculous, but the best donuts I have ever had were in France, at Subway. They included donuts as one of the dessert options, and they were JUST the perfect combination of chewy and fluffy and lightly sugary but not dripping but not dry. Just amazing.

  635. My mouth was drooling by the end of your post. LOVE donuts!! Thanks for the chance to win one of Ree’s books.

  636. Im a simple girl. I like plain glazed donuts. No sprinkles, fruit, nuts, and other stuff. Just a nice sugary coating.

  637. Homemade donuts, I tried them once and they didn’t turn out the greastest! But these look divine and I know wold be a hit with my husband and kids!!

  638. I would have to pick cream filled with chocolate frosting. Glazed are a close second.

  639. Hi, my favorite has to be the Apple Fritter, when its fresh!!! oh…. that is SINFULLY good!!

  640. my favorite kind of doughnut is the powdered sugar chocolate creme filled. oh man. i might have to send my husband to the doughnut store!

  641. I try not to eat doughnuts, but in a weak moment, I do love an apple fritter or a hot plain glazed. I am also partial to the cake powdered one too.

  642. Lemon filled… or a good sour cream donut with just a little glaze. mmmm… Now I want a donut.

  643. I love sprinkle doughnuts…I still can’t decide on if they should be on a cake doughnut or a yeast doughnut though…but I gotta have the sprinkles!

  644. My favorite is Chocolate Coconut…a sweet mixture of chocolate, glaze and oh so sweet coconut!!!!!Love it!

  645. Has to be a lemon filled doughnut with really good lemon curd, otherwise it’s cheese danish.

  646. Doughnuts are my guilty pleasure…I love Chocolate Glazed on a really good tasting doughnut!!
    Thanks for the cookbook give-away!

  647. Doughnuts…oh yum! My favorite is an old fashioned, but I can’t wait to try these!

  648. It’s a toss up between white frosted chocolate glazed & boston cream…but your doughnuts are beautiful!

  649. Oh my. Love me some donuts! Or is it doughnut? Anything chocolate, or frosted with chocolate, or a boston creme, or… I’ll just take whatever donut you give me…

  650. There’s this place in San Antonio, I can’t remember the name, that had these AMAZING chocolate covered donuts. The donuts were crisp and soft, but the best part was the chocolate. Pure chocolate taste, not fake.

  651. Favorite donut is a raspberry filled jelly donut. Hmmm. Can taste is now. Found your site through Ree’s link. Lucky me.

  652. Any donut will do, can’t wait to try these. I gave up on making them many years(and failures)ago.

  653. look amazing! my fav is glazed old fashion, but glazed buttermilk is a close second but harder to find.

  654. My favorite doughnut is the basic ole’ glazed. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so a simple, glazed, melt-in-your-mouth doughnut hits the spot!!

  655. My favorite doughnut is topped with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkle, a classic in my family!

  656. old fashioned… do you have some recipes for those? I’ve never been able to find a good one, though I’ve tried a couple.

  657. My favorite are fresh yeast doughnuts, especially when I make them with my two grandchildren early in the morning while everyone is sleeping. Really fun with Grammy to do something sneaky! They love the doughnut holes!

  658. I would love to be able to make some yummy homemade donuts. When that Hot and Ready sign is on at Krispy Kreme it is hard to resist. Unfortunately it is 45 minutes from my home. If I could Hot and Ready at home on the weekends, Oh Yummy!!

  659. My favorite donut is a fresh coconut cake donut – frosted with yummy white frosting then covered with fresh coconut – I always order a few for my birthday as the bakery I get them from usually only makes 2 each day. One year on my birthday I stopped in early & asked about the fresh coconut donuts and the woman said we only make 2 a day and the man that’s walking out the door just bought them! I was about to tackle him but restrained myself. So, that is why I order them ahead of time for my birthday breakfast treat!

  660. LOVE your blog! Thanks to Ree for introducing me to you! I guess my favorite doughnut would actually be a custard-filled chocolate doughnut OR a raspberry-filled one… but a fresh hot glazed one is pretty amazing! 🙂

  661. I’m a doughnut HOLE kinda gal. I truly believe that if it comes in bite size form, it doesn’t count! LOVE PW Doughnuts! your counter tops are beautiful… trying to get my Handsome Prince to bite on a counter upgrade. Fingers Crossed! 🙂

  662. My favorite kind of doughnut is the plain glazed… and yours look wonderful! Came here from PW’s site – thanks for the giveaway!

  663. I think my favorite are just regular glazed, especially when they’re fresh and hot out of the fryer!!

  664. I love the doughnuts made by one of our local grocery stores. They are Martha Harps Honey Dipped doughnuts….DELICIOUS!

  665. I love raspberry filled donuts that have powdered sugar on the outside, although no one in my area carries them 🙁

  666. I’m a big fan of cake donuts, particularly ones that don’t have a lot of sweet glaze on them. I’d say that strawberry is my all-time fav, though I have a soft spot for toasted coconut (from Dunkin Donuts), chocolate with chocolate icing, cinnamon sugar, and…plain! Really, though, there’s pretty much no donut I’ll turn away, aside from Krispy Kreme raised donuts – they’re just too dang sweet 😛

  667. Hi, I see the picture of the donuts and they look so much like Krispy Creme, the ones we love and want to try these.

  668. Yum! My favorite donut is a chocolate glazed. But these beauties look so good, I’d take one!

  669. My fave type of donuts are Krispy Kreme’s original glazed donuts and Blueberry cake donuts. The Krispy Kreme near my hometown in Tuscaloosa, AL was destroyed by the tornadoes and even though I’ve moved to that “other town” no other donut, except for homemade ones, can compete and I now have to drive an hour or two either way to buy one. I really need to try to make some but as a newbie to the cooking area I’m reluctant to fry things because I’m afraid of my oven.

  670. Chocolate with chocolate icing, or how about chocolate creme filled powdered donut or jelly filled or lemon filled. I don’t think I’m real fussy about the flavor I just love the donuts.

  671. Mmmmmmm….haven’t made donuts in forever! I love them with chocolate icing and toasted coconut…..oh please!

  672. Glazed. I really enjoy a Krispy Kreme donut, but they’ve closed all of the Krispy Kreme’s around here, so it’s hard to find them.

  673. My favorite doughnut is a german chocolate cake doughnut that came from a small bakery years and years ago! I still remember it!

  674. This is easy. My favorite donut is jelly filled and heaped high with butter cream frosting. Thanks for the giveaway.

  675. Doughnuts are my weakness – I will eat every single kind. But I especially love ones topped with sprinkles. There is something about sprinkles that just makes me happy!

  676. I know this is blasphemous, but I try to stay away from doughnuts. Maybe because they are so sweet and I can’t eat just one. But I do like them and I have never tried to make them myself. Thanks for the giveaway!

  677. So many doughnuts, so little time. My favorite is from a little place in Connecticut that makes the most delicious powdered sugar crunchy doughnuts.

  678. My favorites are the chocolate-covered Boston cream-filled doughnuts. They’re delicious because of the blend of flavors from the outside-in.

  679. I love Dunkin’ Donuts butternut donut, although there are no DD near me so I rarely get them!

  680. My favorite kind of donut is vanilla creme filled, with lots of creme. Thanks for the opportunity.

  681. My all time fav is Krispy Kreme. Powered lemon filled or just plain glazed when the hot sign is on

  682. You would know that plain glazed doughnuts are my fave. Can’t beat ’em. I would love to learn to make some via Ree’s recipe.

  683. This is going to sound horrible, but from favorite donut is Boston Kreme from Dunkin Donuts. I’ve been eating them since I was a kid and never thought about what that K at the beginning of Kreme meant until a couple of months ago. 🙁 unnatural but soooooooo good.

  684. the classic glazed twist is my all-time favorite!! once I get a hold of Ree’s cookbook, these are gonna be the first thing i’ll make! 🙂

  685. My favorite donut is a classic glazed donut. Though I had a pumpkin spice donut that was ah-mazing once too ;P

  686. Let’s see … maple bars, old fashioned, jelly filled, chocolate glazed … I could go on and on!

  687. Pumpkin donuts, my 14 year old autistic Son and I are always trying new donut recipes. Cooking is something that helps him with his autism as well as a great bonding time to spend together. I would love to receive the Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook so he and I could try the glazed donuts.

  688. Old fashioned are my favorite! Actually – any donut that is eaten with my grandpa is my favorite!

  689. I don’t know what the name is of my favorite doughnut but it has a maple glaze on it covered with tiny pieces of peanuts. Mmmmmm!! Love this doughnut!

  690. Oh, that’s a tough question! But, I’ll have to go with the classic– glazed donuts! Perfect with an ice cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. Now I want one 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  691. love warm glazed doughnuts – will have to try this recipe – thanks for the cookbook giveaway!

  692. My favorite donut has to be a donut I just recently discovered at a local bakery run by little old polish woman! It is a regular old yeast donut, dipped in cinnamon & sugar, and drizzled with a delicous icing! It reminds me so much of a good old fashioned elephant ear from the county fair! This donut is delightfully sinful and I lose all self control when someone brings them into work!

  693. I love glazed dougnuts, but the have to be warm (zap fo 15 seconds if not warm). I also love apple fritters,

  694. The homemade doughnuts that the German lady who lived down the street made for Halloween every year when I was growing up.

  695. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are my favorite! Also, pretty much any doughnut that has chocolate in it…mmmmm!!!! Delicious!

  696. Is there any other kind???… Chocolate! The more chocolate the better: Chocolate glazed, chocolate cake, chocolate glazed-chocolate cake!!!! Thanks to Ree for sending me to your site. I’m going to use your Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting for some cupcakes for my Great American Bakesale!

  697. I’m still a fan of donuts that have a whipped cream center!! YUM!!! Thank you for the giveaway, hope I’m a lucky one!!

  698. Although I did not make it in time to be considered for the giveaway, donuts are like one of THE best things you could ever put in your mouth. When I lived in Texas, there was a Dunkin Donuts down the way and they are the bomb! But can anyone really say that they have ever met a bad donut? Cake donuts are my favorite, especially when you dunk them in a steamy cup of cappiccino. What more can be said? I could almost reach into you photos and take one of yous. They look devine and Ree’s recipes are all soooo good. Loved her first book and I’m sure I’ll love the second one too.
