These will be made at my house within days, @chefgigi. How many donuts does it make? And which doughnut pan do you recommend? Metal or silicone? I'm going to order one today. Had a physical today and I've gained 5 pounds. I am blaming you! ;-)
Chef Gigi
Hahahahahahha! Donna John depending how wide and deep your mold pan is you can yield six large - a doz reg, and 2 doz mini. Everything in moderation right! Love my Vegan friends ! MWAH! I LOVE Working silicone, but items w less structure that are very delicate and can loose shape easy-- I prefer metal pans. So use metal. I chose to use cake flour in this recipe because the gluten proteins are smaller in cake flour so the end result will render a much more tender product . And if you really
Want super duper light -- add a lots of air when mixing - ( use the whip attachment instead of paddle in a stand mixer) adding air creates lots of bubbles so
In the oven the air escapes which also means the end result will be a much more delicate product! ( it happens more when you add yeast ) Just be careful that tossing in the cinnamon sugar with the coconut oil at the end doesn't deflate or crush them. I hope you love them-- u can increase the pumpkin flavor by adding 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice seasoning to the Cinnamon sugar mix at the end; too ! ( shhh secret ) !
Chef Gigi
Ps The chemical Levener in this recipe will add gas --too - the rise and more bubbles = fluffy ! ❤️
Donna John
Got it! And I will add the pumpkin pie spice. Mmmm! I've never made donuts before, so it should be interesting. I've never made them because I thought you had to fry 'em. Love that these are baked. Ordering my metal doughnut pan now... Chef Gigi Gaggero
