The October 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Lori of Butter Me Up. Lori chose to challenge DBers to make doughnuts. She used several sources for her recipes including Alton Brown, Nancy Silverton, Kate Neumann and Epicurious.
I decided to make the yeast donuts as I wanted something light. I followed Alton Brown's recipe, using egg nog for the milk. Winder Dairy Egg Nog!!! Mmmmm... tasty! The dough ended up too wet for me so I had to add a touch more flour.The glazes are plain sugar on the rounds, maple squares, and cinnamon and sugar dust on the rest. I even used some sprinkles on some for the kids.
Thanks Lori for a fun challenge!
I love that you made squares - how fun! And using egg nog for the milk was a really fun idea - I bet they added a touch of flavor that was just right! Great job.
