I'll say the same thing for Astro Donuts. Their fried chicken, on the other hand, is very good.

Delicious selection at Lucky's Doughnuts in Vancouver, I especially liked their Halloween themed ones:

Best donut recipes, esp for a basic cake donut with maple frosting?
Hi All
i want to try making donuts and I hope some people here will post their recipes. There are loads of online recipes but Im curious to know which ones you like. I want some ideas from my fellow FT-ers :-)

My mother taught me using the recipe in the Better Home & Gardens New Cook Book. Its still in the 1968 copy I have. Its in my 2000 edition as well but includes chocolate glaze. You might try googling it as its a lot of typing and Im lazy. I miss my mothers old stove which had a back burner that lowered to create a deep fryer. I still have a scar on my forehead from leaning over while dropping the dough into the fryer.
For maple frosting, if you can find a copycat Tim Hortons recipe, you cant do any better than that IMO.
Funny you you should bring this up. Im planning to make bagels for th first time as soon as my yeast arrives.

I don’t ever use a deep fat fryer. But having seen your other post where you expressed a preference for reducing sugar in recipes, I’d point you to this one which uses the “water roux” method:

Aces - I’ll check better homes & gardens recipe. I’ll also check out the link for water roux - something that’s also new for me.
Ok so what’s your bagel recipe?
may the yeast soon arrive. It’s posts like yours where I feel relieved and justified to have bought a total of 4 pounds of yeast! I ran into another mom at Safeway last week in the baking aisle and when she mentioned yeast, I offered to be her final desperate hope for yeast, because she suddenly didn’t seem to need it :-)
