just thought about trying the baking method one time may stay with frying if it is not as good

let me know whats better

I've always preferred baked doughnuts. Even before I started making them Just one of those personal preferences.

Huh. Ive never had..but I think Ill stick with fried doughnuts and baked bagels. Which were a disaster, btw. I proved them wrong and they came out shriveled rings So I prefer making doughnuts

Baked doughnuts are are a result of the vilifying of oil that the sugar industry committed in the 60s and 70s. Dietitians now recognize that we need to eat both saturated and un saturated fat every day to be healthy. We need to stay away from trans fats but you do not get them if you fry at home. You have to re heat oil about 10 times to get trans fats. We do not do that at home usually

Really. I had no idea! I use coconut oil for my frying

Oh heck when I do doughnuts I use a cast iron skillet older than me oil goes away never re used oh heck I use vegetable , canola for baking olive for others types and meals

Not my reason...I like the taste of the baked better PLUS, I don't like cleaning up after frying!

Good answer!

Beautiful bread!

Hi everybody! I've been stalking for a lil bit, but somebody called me out. *pokes somebody* So here I am.

A loaf of epi bread I made today. It was delicious.

looks yummy!

I made a dozen of these personal size pineapple upside down cakes to take to my brother's house for New Year's. I used the jumbo muffin pans and they turned out a nice size. A dollop of whipped cream on the side and they were a hit.

very pretty!

Oh, what fun - I'm a little jealous! Years ago, Hubs had a small catering service, and I used to help with that, mainly doing desserts, but also helped with the meals at times. I had a blast, and really miss it (although I doubt my arthritic knees and aching feet could handle it anymore). Is the restaurant you cook at open year-round? I'm guessing no one plays golf in the snow. lol

Debby will hire you
