Time to make the doughnuts! If you are looking for authentic, old-fashioned, glazed doughnuts and you have the time, this one will please everyone in your family. The addition of vanilla bean in the batter makes them extra-special.

ealv821 ,Hmm...not sure if I did this right but follow the recipe like its says to make but doughnuts were not fluffy:(...12y
shilohann ,I followed the recipe, doubled the glaze, and was amazed with the yummy results! These doughnuts were well worth the effort.13y
fortundae ,OUTSTANDING. Only change I would make is really stressing that heating cream is important...it adds a caramel like finish to glaze. I recommend using SAF gold yeast,follow SAF instructions to add to flour mixture first, Mexican vanilla bean and extract. WOW....13y
jwarner75 ,I was expecting more from this recipe. More like the fresh made yeast from marsh or a convient store.14y
squanto087 ,THis is a excellent recipe. The only thing I would do different is make more glaize next time,otherwise it is fantastic.14y
squanto087 ,This recipe worked out really well. The only change I would make in the future when making these again is to double the amount of glaze the recipe calls for, as I barely had enough to glaze all of the doughnuts. I fried the doughnuts in peanut oil (recommended by me, but not specified in the recipe itself). Make sure your oil stays at 375 degrees, it is very important to the final result that the oil temperature remains stable at 375 degrees, and it will cool if you crowd the fryer, so make sure you fry only a couple at a time, depending on the size of your pan or fryer. (I used an electric fryer and would recommend it for keeping the temperature steady.) The size of doughnut cutter was not specified in the recipe: I used a 2 3/4-inch cutter with good results.14y
