Swedish Doughnuts
One day, my father got a hankering for doughnuts and asked me to make him some. I ended up trying these. Dad—and everyone else—loved the results. They come out so golden and plump. —Lisa Bates, Dunham, Quebec

Yummy. I made these vegan so they could be enjoyed by everyone in the family. My edits: For eggs I used egg replacer. For butter I used earth balance. For buttermilk I used oat milk and vinegar. I made a half recipe which made about 2 dozen 2” rings and holes. Would make again.
These did not turn out good for me. I will say that I used a pan with oil and a candy thermometer, so maybe that was the problem. They tasted doughy. Would not recommend making unless you have a electric skillet or such. A lot of wasted ingredients.
I reduced the recipe to half a batch as a trial run. They are the best donuts I have ever made and now I wished I had made the whole recipe. They are not greasy or dry. They are tender.I will make this recipe again and add additional spices. Thanks, Lisa and TOH for this successful recipe.
Just wondering if I could use the donut machine with this recipe rather than rolling. Thanks
have a recipe for yeast doughnuts
very good hu enjoyed
I thought they would be greasy, but after they sit for a while/ very good!! will make again, and again..
These sound very good but since they are fried I wouldn't make them. However, the kitchen store nearby sells donut baking pans. I am going to make some using this pan and my amish bread recipe. That way I can make any flavor at all.
