  1. 5 stars
    Can’t wait to try these! I love your donut recipe’s, they kick the curb for the “crappy” Dunkin Donuts donut’s near me & these are homemade by ME! The recipe’s are easily followed & turn out great each time even for the non-cook that I am!
    Thanks for sharing them with all of us!

  2. I have these in the oven as we speak. I inputted the recipe and only get 2 pts per donut? I didnā€™t count the eggs, should I? Iā€™m following freestyle?

    1. Hi Stacey, no the egg would have no point value, go with what you get, did you included the strudel topping?

  3. I just made these and I cannot believe how good they are! I used the Wilton mini donut pan since that is what I had. Thank you for such a yummy recipe!
