The listing, Old Fashioned Delicious Pumpkin Donuts has ended.
love old fashioned donuts. Love them. They're far and away my favorite donut and for some reason, rarely make it into donut cookbooks. Those heavy, craggy glazed confections sustained me at university. Nothing warms the soul and spikes the blood sugar at 5am like a big old fashioned.
Now the old fashioned is a cake-style donut, but unlike its standard cake brethren it is cooked longer and at a lower temperature. This--and a few tweaks to the ingredients--is what gives the donut it's heft, moistness and craggy petals. This is also one donut that actually manages to taste good the next day. I actually prefer them the next morning as something seems wrong about a warm old fashioned, but that's just me.
Also I can ship you the actual recipe if you prefer.
