Directions
Alton Brown’s Yeast Doughnuts,Good old A.B. sure does know his way around the kitchen! Here’s a great recipe from Good Eats I thought I’d post. We’re making these right now and I cannot wait to eat some! You will need a kitchen scale for this, as you have to weigh the flour. Cooking time includes time to rise.,I made these this morning, very easy recipe to follow and the results were AMAZING!!! The measurements are spot on. I glazed some and frosted the others with a chocolate glaze type frosting. My family loved them, will defiantly make them again!
