In reply to Shania. Was the kitchen cold? Did they need to rise more?

They came out dense even though I followed all the instructions and measurements.

In reply to Rachel. Yep, letting the dough rest in the fridge overnight works great! I do it all the time!

I am so excited to make these for Christmas Morning! I’m hoping donuts become “our thing” for Christmas. I’m thinking the best thing to do is refrigerate the dough overnight then finish in the morning? Or how much do you think I could do the night before? I have a hungry toddler in the morning so just want to be ready to go. Any tips?

How much butter does this recipe call for because I made these donuts this morning and I could not taste the butter in the donuts

In reply to Tiffany. I use instant. If you are using active dry you can generally just let it rest in the liquid for a few minutes to activate it.

Instant and active dry yeast behave a bit differently (instant working faster and not needing a “bloom”) which do you typically use in this recipe that matches the timeline in this recipe or do you have different timetables for each available?

In reply to Pat. I love that you call them "diet" donuts Pat, that's so funny!

This is great! I’ve been experimenting with donuts lately since I bought 3 donate pans. I tell my friends these are “diet” donuts!

Yum! Yum!
