We never tire of tasting donuts at snack time and this time I took the traditional American recipe of fried donuts coated with icing sugar icing.
Making homemade donuts is easier than you might think, the recipe requires about 2 hours of standing. With the same donut dough, you can use other glazes: chocolate, vanilla, or any other flavoring with different colorings.
The donuts I'm offering you today are old-fashioned and this is how I prefer them. Of course, you can stuff them with jam, coat them with chocolate ganache or even choose a strawberry glaze and sprinkle them with chocolate sprinkles, etc ... but the best in my eyes are the fried donuts glazed with sugar and with the autumn climate is so comforting accompanied by a good coffee or a hot chocolate.
