Old Fashioned Donuts

Old Fashioned Donuts – is one of my all-time favorite Donuts. I was raised on these and lived for them. That cakey texture, coated in a thin layer of glaze, has a calming effect on me. Maybe it’s because they’re so familiar, but they’re a firm favorite.

WHAT ARE OLD FASHIONED DONUTS?

Old-fashioned doughnuts are glazed, sugared, or left plain. They have a richer flavor and crunchier texture than some other cake doughnuts, thanks to the sour cream.

HOW TO MAKE OLD FASHIONED DONUTS?

With just a few basic ingredients and no yeast, you can make this old fashioned donut at home! These Donuts have a crispy, golden brown outside, a light, and fluffy interior, and plenty of crannies to contain that sweet glaze.

  • Granulated sugar
  • Nutmeg
