These are delicious! I had not made doughnuts in years but these were much easier than the ones in my memory banks or maybe over the years I've become more adept – but anyway – yummy. I sprinkled mine with powdered sugar and cinnamon and sugar.

Glad you enjoyed them Barb – that recipe has to be over 100 years old… When I got married, it was tucked into one of my wedding gifts…a recipe box. The recipe belonged to someones grandfather at the time.

I do not know how I missed this one! John is a doughnut freak and will love me forever if I make them. So I think I will.

Back in the 70's I had a neighbor who made doughnuts every Sunday morning. I'd never even considered that you could make doughnuts at home — never really thought about it. What a revelation! I started making doughnuts – every flavor and frosting/glace you could think of. I invited the neighbors in and we made six dozen and each iced and decorated a dozen. I froze them in heat-seal bags and threw them in the freezer. My step-mom was pregnant at the time – and every morning she would defrost a package of 6 to have with coffee before my dad left for work. My dad would eat two, she would eat two, and then she would have the other two for a mid-morning snack. Her doctor hit the roof at her next appointment. She had managed to gain 15 pounds – and I'm sure 10 of it came from eating those doughnuts!

Which is why I could never possibly make donuts at home … I would eat them all !! But at our local farm market there is a woman who has still warm, sugar covered donuts ….. my treat for a Saturday morning.

You should have seen me when I found out I could make the yeast-raised doughnuts and glaze them just like the doughnut shop. Then I could have my choice of addictive doughnuts!

And today I found the Cafe DuMonde bignet mix at Krogers…
Didn't get it because this looks better, but I had NO idea that they had the mix all the way over here!

Pete, I have been to Cafe Du Mond and eaten them there and another resteraunt in New Orleans..they are soooo good. I have seen the mix in stores too, but never tried them.
My mother occasionally made donuts on Sun. am – she would open a can of biscuit dough and use her little donut cutter, for holes too…and fry them and put a glaze on them – the powdered sugar/milk/vanilla glaze. They were so good.
I love Southern Maid donuts here and my husband hates them. We both like cake type donuts and I go to Krispy Cream, rarely for a couple chocolate glazed/cream filled for DESSERT. They are too sugary for me, for breakfast. We love WEGMAN's donuts – they are in VA, where my SIL lives and up in NY….they make HUGE donuts.

When I was in college I worked at a bakery in Silver Lake, we used this recipe I believe just on a much grander scale and everything was done by hand. Working where you fry by hand (standing in front of a huge frypot with chopsticks in your hand turning the doughnuts) tends to make you not like doughnuts much anymore (I had to keep all of my work clothes separated from my normal clothes, the grease would just saturate them)……. it took me quite a few years to be able to eat a doughnut again!

Cafe du Mond Beignets are da bomb! I love those things, but don't care for the coffee. Of course when you take three boys under the age of 14 there, you know what they want to do, blow sugar! Especially when their dad and his buddy start it!

And isn't it just the ideal place to agree to meet people? I will drink the coffee, but with a LOT of milk. But the pastry is too good to notice the coffee! Haven't been in nearly 10 years. Where has the time gone…

It's been that long since we took the boys. Rick and I have been there since but not since Katrina. The two older boys have gone back since Katrina. That area of NO wasn't damaged.

Wow..I haven't had those in along time. We used a plastic twist bottle cap to punch out the holes and roll them in cinnamon&sugar..yummy

I went the last time, in the early 80's…saw Napoleon's death mask, Marie Antoinette's museum display..very interesting. I wish I had known then, more about Marie…to appreciate it more. We went to her palace in Versaille, when we went to France…
But, back to Cafe…YUM..I loved the coffee and donuts. A time before this, my ex sister in law was going to Tulane med school and living there…so she took me to another donut place and they were the same ..YUM

Just wondering, I made these the other night for my most undeserving husband for valentines because he loves sweets and especially donuts. Mine were thick and heavy and cakey. Is that what they are suppose to be? Of course he ate them anyway, he would eat a rock if I sprinkled sugar on it and called it desert.

…sounds about right Georgia…"real" doughnuts are heavier than those made for grocery stores.
Bella – I'm here – but just not posting much…it's too painful!
