“Great recipe! Delicious flavor and so moist. I made the donut holes. My only complaint is that it calls for way too much sugar to roll the donuts in. I cut the total sugar amount to 1 1/4 cup and it was still too much. Next time I will cut it to 1 cup sugar.” — a cook, 4.0★
“My husband and I love these and have made several times. Quick and easy to put together. Have almost eliminated our trips to the donut shop in town on the weekends. We always want these! Sally's recipes are always fantastic, she's my go-to!” — a cook, 5.0★
