I’d like to come back here and report that I made these doughnuts last night, and hoooo-mygosh!! Literally thee BEST doughnut I’ve ever made at home. & I’ve gotta say, I’ve tried a lot of the “best homemade doughnut” recipes, and they all just left me disappointed. Either the flavor was too off, or the texture was wayyy off, and not at all how a doughnut should be. I should say that I’m pretty skilled with bread making, so I don’t feel like it was any user error for the other recipes. These were SO soft, and so fluffy! I made a homemade pastry cream to fill them with. So phenomenal. Honestly I can’t believe Erin just gave away this amazing recipe! What a generous person!! 😂
Now, a few tips here: The dough IS a pretty wet/sticky dough and that can make people scared to work with it. Do not add any more flour than the recipe calls for, or you’ll end up with tough, dry doughnuts.
To make it easier to work with, you can refrigerate for about an hour or two after the initial one hour rise. This will make it much easier to work with. Or just make them the night before and let them rise in the fridge overnight. & As Erin said, don’t flour your work surface too much either.
Everyone should seriously try this. I can’t recommend them enough. & I so enjoy watching Erin, she’s so awesome and explains things well!
So glad you enjoyed Erin's recipe, Brycie! Adding a pastry cream filling for them sounds amazing, and thanks so much for the extra tips!
Wow i wanna make em now. Just worried they'll be greasy. I made some b4 that were
aliyah p I believe cake donuts (donuts without yeast) have a higher tendency to be greasy if you don’t keep your oil at the proper temperature. I’ve done it myself! I didn’t find that these were greasy at all! Just make sure to keep your temp above 350! That helps with the greasiness.
@@bryciecook4318 thanks
Food52 can u substitute the active dry yeast for instant yeast will it make a huge difference to the donuts???
I actually really love the tip about using fruit purées and jams to make fruit icing, never heard of that before but it’s a great idea
We agree -- it's a great tip! Let us know if you try it!
I love watching Erin I wish she had her own show. I’ve watched every one of them several times. Thank you, Erin ❤
I love it when cooks have their hair up and not flipping around the food.
YES GOD!!
She has such a great presence. She comes across as honest, down to earth, and very skilled. I want to watch her make something else!
Hi! So glad you're enjoying watching Erin! She's also joined us to make puff pastry (ruclips.net/video/zvEQyPj968A/видео.html), pie crusts (ruclips.net/video/jT3UZ4qI1ro/видео.html), and the Ultimate Chocolate Cake (ruclips.net/video/Cn-X2Ti9Xj4/видео.html), if you'd like to watch more!
Wow awesome
I was thinking the same. I love how she explains the process and makes it look super easy to try.
Erin and Shereen need to combine their talents for the best cooking show EVER!
I loved my mother dearly but she was the worst cook. She was a WWII bride and married so young that she had not learned how to cook from my grandmother who was a superb Southern cook. One of the few things my mother did once that was delicious was homemade donuts. She wouldn’t make them again because she said it was too messy. I can see now why a young mother of four would say that! I have always been afraid to try but having seen your excellent tutorial, I think I will! Thanks!!
Thanks so much for sharing Merk! Let us know how your donuts turn out!
😂😂😂
I love watching Erin because she is very knowledgeable about food science, has a ton of experience and can actually speak intelligently without reading of cue cards :)
Glad you're enjoying Erin's tutorials!
RUclips brought me here and I AM SO FREAKING happy!! Erin is theeeee bomb. Her approach, her teaching style and her ease on camera totally makes her a SUPER STAR! I could watch her everyday. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Erin your videos are the absolute best! I normally don't watch food channels but your way of explaining things makes them so interesting that I can't help but watch!
This is officially the cutest video! Also, I feel suddenly very confident in my donut-making capabilities.
Glad you enjoyed Erin's tutorial, Amanda! Let us know if you try her recipe!
OMG.... I've never seen Josh smile with such utter delight at the prospect of eating doughnuts. I loved this recipe simple, timeless and bring on the smiles. Now... time to make them.
Let us know how it goes, Angela!
Made Erin's donut recipe and the look on my daughter's face was priceless!!! It was an "OMG" look, and hubby had 2 donuts. They were fantastic!!! Thanks Erin for sharing your wonderful recipe!
I want to see more Erin! She is so knowledgeable and has a really nice touch and intuition.
This has been THEE best recipe and explanation of donut making. I tried so many times, so many recipes but could never just get them right. I changed absolutely nothing.
Erin is such a good instructor, her videos are always so informative i love it ! And she is the cutest, she is so sweet.
love Erin's presentation, professionalism and love for baking. She explains everything! Can't wait to try this. thank you!
I am 8 yrs chef cook! I learned to cook from I was 3. I am able to cook for myself and my family! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing:)
Well done Steven,your family must be very proud of you!!
I love you, Erin!!! You’re so easy to watch and listen to! Such a beautiful teaching method! Easy to understand and learn! I’ll be watching you a lot!! Can you make Greek chicken?
Love the use of a stand mixer and the vibrant colored fruit glazes. Thanks for sharing your grandmother's treasured recipe. Josh's reaction is so adorable!
wait! Did i just learn that its the same recipe for filled doughnuts? I love filled donuts and have never made them like this. thought they needed a sturrdy choux dough, so I never make them. Thanks for sharing your family recipe, and thanks for your book The Book On Pies. I share your passion, coming from 3 generations of, i don't know if you'd call them "professional" pie makers, but me grandmother remembers sitting on the flour can while her mother made pies for all the restaraunts close by back in 1915. Then, grandma also made pies for everyone and my mom could hold her own and feed the neighborhood. In a small town in Arizona she and my dad were the only ones getting any handyman work done on a timely basis, and when a neighbor asked the handyman why he did mom and dads before hers, the handy man said, "because Carolyn always has pie!"
Erin, my husband and I just made these donuts yesterday after watching your video. I LOVE that it doesn't take allll day to make these, and doesn't make too many for just 2 people. OMG!!!!!!!! Best donuts EVER!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.
What is the best way to STORE these delicious donuts without them getting all wet in a container?
I have never found a good way to store donuts, they are either dry or wet.
She reminds me so much of my aunt! I adore her and would watch her on a series!
This is awesome! And thank you for the alternative options for people without donut cutters, etc! I would watch a whole channel of her!
Your glazes are so beautiful! Thank you, Erin.
I love the way you make everything look so easy!! Every time I watch your videos I feel like, I can do it.
Love Erin McDowell...she's a joy to watch and learn from!
Discovered this channel and Erin recently. Now I'm binge watching all her videos. Wooohoo!!
What a lovely lady and so easy to follow! Makes you feel all warm inside and with a big smile! I am going to make these with my daughters tomorrow ❤️
More Erin please! I just found her here on RUclips and she is just wonderful!
ERIN...I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU. OF ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VIDEOS I HAVE WATCHED. AND I HAVE WATCHED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND REASONING HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST EVER!!!!

Great video! I’m trying these today and am very excited given the comments and how good they look!! Thanks Erin and Food 52!

Yes, I just discovered her a few months ago and I think I have watched every video so far. Love Bake it up a Notch.
This was so easy to follow! I loved all the tips on frying, other videos I watched on doughnut recipes don't have as much useful info on frying them.
I Love how Fun and Easy she makes it! Brings out the fun artsy not so serious science side! Bravo!
I love her and definitely going to give this a try she makes it so easy to follow along! Good job!
This video was all round AMAZING!!! 😉 Gosh... thank you all so much and God bless! 🙏🏾🙌🏾 Erin should really teach more, she’s awesome!
such a good idea to get beautiful vibrant colours in a natural way
Very comprehensive video. Thank you for sharing this!
1st time watching you and I LOVED you. So down to earth and genuine. I enjoyed your video, recipe, and friendliness. Thank you
Thankyou so much for sharing your family recipe... How happy your great great grandmother would be... that her recipe is gone all over the world. Thanks Erin
Erin is literally so sweet🥺❤️
She is soooo good.. her energy is so gooood ! Her donuts are so pretty!!!❤
This was such a joy to watch! I love how engaging the content is throughout the video. I feel so much more confident to make fluffy donuts successfully. Hopefully, they are this picture-worthy! 😁
Erin McDowell, your videos are fantastic. I really enjoy watching them.
I have watched this so many times just to watch you love your sprinkle addiction. Your absolutely wonderful!
Just Came Across Your Videos Erin And I Have Watched You Now For Three Hours. I'm Loving The Way You Teach And Explain Your Baking Techiques And Give Your Personal Opinions And Techniques On Why You Choose To Do Things Certain Ways To Make Your Recipes A Success !! My Mother Was A Teacher In Elementary Education And Also She Minored In Home Economics / With A Math And Sciece Degree !! I'm A Great Cook And Know How To Bake. I Took Homemaking In School Every Year From 7th Grade Through 12th grade. I Was Always Considered Each Year One Of The Best Cooks In Class. Also , My Mother And Grandmother Were The Best Teachers . I Lived In The Kitchen With Them And Loved Listening To Their Stories From Their Past To The Present And I Always Questioned Them About How To Make Some Of Their Recipes , Which Were Sometimes Given To Me. A Lot Of Recipes Were Not , Because They Only Cooked By Sight And No Measuring Were Never The Way They Cooked Or Baked. My Mother Passed Last Year And I Had To Cook The First Thanksgiving And Xmas Dinner About Five Years Ago , Because My Mother Had Alzheimer's And I Also Cared For Her. If It Was Not For Me Lingering In The Kitchen With Both My Mom And Grandmother For Years I Would Not Have Known What And How To Began A Holiday Meal. Everything Turned Out Great And Mom's Reply Was " This Is Very Good " !! You Are The Best Erin And I've Enjoyed Your Videos And Recipes.You Come Across As A Well Spoken Teacher , Which Keeps The Attention Of Your Audience . You Really Do Need Your Own Show . The Food Network Needs You To Draw More Viewers In Order To Learn And Not Compete All The Time For Money . People Would Like To Learn And Not See So Many Young And Older Chefs Throw Food And Baking Techniques Together In Competition . I Loved Your Techniques In Making Puff Pastry !! ❤❤ I Will Be Making These Donuts This Weekend !!Thank You So Much !! 🎂🧁🍰🥮🍞🥐🥖🥨🥯🍕🥧🧁🍨🍦🥠🥟🍠🍋🍊🍎🥭🥞🍓🍐🍉🍇🥭🥝🥥🌶🌭🥪🌮🥙🥚🥣🍭🥄🔪🍽🍴🍵🍶🍹🥛☕🍼🍮🍪🍩🧁🍫
The look of pure enjoyment on the Amish boy's face said it all: great donuts. I will def be trying the mango, what a great idea!
I love donuts thanks
This deserve a star, outstanding video content. Your help counts
I just love the way she bakes.
After watching her videos, even I want to learn more about baking. 😍
Imagine being her husband: "Babe, I want donuts..."
Erin: "I got you. Give me 30 minutes".
Cole Brown ? (I’m not being rude I’m just curious as to why ur mad.)
Cole Brown You've never said "I really want some donuts right now" to someone? You don't sound like a happy person though so you probably don't even like donuts.
It takes longer then 30 mins just to rise xD
That’s the type of wife I wanna be
I'm a dude and I want to be the type of husband that can just make donuts for my wife and kids specially when they crave for it. Just imagining the thought that donuts can bring is already such a wonderful life. I'm a donut and ice cream type of person by the way. I prolly just need to make sure to know some limits for health concerns.
OMG your bowls are so cute!! Great video with great vibes!
Well delivered instructions! She’s very clear and concise! She’s awesome!!!
I love the way you eixplain with details you are amazing I fail 2 times then I give up to make dounats I will try with your recipe's thanks

ooo I LOVE THEM. The fruit glazes are out of this world, so many possibilities!! definitely trying them.
They're absolutely fabulous. I hope they taste as yummy as they look... I really enjoyed watching your video, thank you so much!
I just made these donuts and they were bomb!!! Your recipes are always the best! Thank you for sharing 😍
Made these today! Very good! Love Erin's energy! She is living my dream lol! I topped some with strawberry lemonade glaze and filled some with cookie dough buttercream and topped with chocolate glaze. 🍩🍪🍓🍋
I love your technique... You are amazing!

I just started making doughnuts. I am going to try these amazing glazes.
I want Erin to teach me EVERYTHING!! She is such a gem.
Thank you for the recipe will try this with the kids.
I think she is a great 👍 👌 😀 teacher she's calm and has all her equipment together and not running around the kitchen looking for everything 😉
First time ever writing something on youtube. I agreed with many of you she is wonderful plus I made the donut yesterday (since I promise donuts to my 3 years old and when he saw this recipe he asked for the mango flavor one) and OMG they were amazing. I can't wait to try the ciabatta recipe.
Thanks for the video tutorial.
I find your way to cook easier than a lot of other cooking videos👍
Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying our videos!

This channel changed my life! It is the best of the very best.
@@paradisoperduto4900
You said it.👍
I was looking for good donut recipe, and after trying a few, this one delivers excellent results, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and it frezzes well too. Thanks so much for a great donuts master class.
How you freeze them?
I made these yesterday! I used one-half of the dough and made the rest this morning! They are delicious! I just dipped them in Powdered sugar and others in Cinnamon Sugar! I took pictures, but have no idea how to upload them to your site! Thanks for the recipe!
Measuring. How much of each ingredients
@@francesfehrman741 I made the total original dough, but cut it in half and refrigerated the rest. This group needs to use metric in their measurements, I always use a scale.
I made these doughnuts and they turned out so well.Thank you.
You are very likeable person.I enjoy the whole prosses of the recepi.the donuts look very neat in presentation. It made my mouth water.😄
This WOMAN is soooo AMAZING! She is jist giving me a Joy! She is Happy, so friendly, kind, lovely, just please tell me she have. A channel!! Lover her :)!
Thanks for sharing. I own a donut shop and have our own recipe. This recipe beats Krispy Kreme hands down. It is too delicate and you have to eat right away. If we could serve while you wait,I am sure people will climb through the windoe to eat your donus. We sell our donuts cold.
She’s awesome and the video is too. I might actually try this. Thank you 😊 !
Simply, an adorable video!
I need to make these donuts for my miniature kitchen! thanks for the awesome video.
I really like this video. Keep up the good work
I have always wanted to make donuts but I was too scared to. My daughter watched this video and nagged me until I said yes. Wow!!! I never thought I could do it. They came out fabulous!! I even made a huge mistake. I left out the eggs, kneaded the dough, covered it up and then realised I forgot the eggs so mixed them in after. lol. Thought I had really stuffed it up but yet it still came out awesome. Thank you Erin, you're a natural!
I watched all of this video and I never got bored haha
I loved this episode of cookie exchange, love to see more of them. Always looking for some new recipes for cookies for my cookie exchange.🍪🍪💝😋
This was great! All of them are my favorite!!
You make the whole process look so easy, can't wait to try them. I love your relaxed and so informative style. 🍩🥰💜
There is no such thing as too many sprinkles! I love Erin!
We agree :)
I’ve only made cake donuts before because yeast donuts have always intimidated me. This recipe looks very accessible, though, so I may give it a try. My kids will be super happy!
I'm trying these now! Wish me luck!
I have always wanted to make donuts!! Thanks for the tutorial :)
My grandchildren will love these joyful multiple of different donuts thank you so much ❤️💙🌌🌃🐬💞
Erin you ROCK your teaching still is fantastic
Yummo and I love your kitchen thanks
Fabulous episode! Erin is a star!
Erin is the best! We need more of her.
Btw, anyway we can get the soundtrack of the video? I loved that chilled jazzy vibe the video had because of the music.
The worst part about watching this was that I didn't get to taste them😭
Just finished making them like ten minutes ago. Very tasty! :]
