In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, next six ingredients and 2 cups of the flour. Blend for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.

Turn dough onto a well-floured board. Roll dough around to coat with flour. (Dough will be soft.) Cut with floured doughnut cutter or cans. Lift carefully with spatula and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Brush with melted margarine. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 20 minutes).

Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 425 degrees F or until golden.

Immediately brush with melted margarine and shake in cinnamon sugar.


This was kind of a pain to make, but it was worth it. I used margarine instead of butter and that worked okay. The great taste of donuts baked at home.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank IrishGirl for this recipe.

These were really great - although I didn't eat any (don't like sweets at all - call me crazy...) but my family LOVED them! I left some of them whole (no hole in the middle) and filled them with chocolate and vanilla pudding.

Oh, also, after the second rise, I froze mine, then in the morning I let them defrost for about 10 minutes while the oven preheated and baked them. Fresh donuts first thing in the morning!

Great recipe, thanks!

These donuts were great! And they're not as bad for you as regular donuts that are fried! Thanks so much!
