Want a donut?
How 'bout now? OK, I know I don't take the best pictures in the world, but they were really good!
These donuts have been calling my name ever since I bought a donut pan several months ago at Bed Bath and Beyond. I kept wanting to make them but it just seemed like so much work, and honestly, I didn't even know where to start! I don't know why but I just decided to whip up my waffle recipe (with a few tweaks) and try it in my new pan. We loved them.
To me, these were somewhere in between a Krispie Kreme melt-in-your-mouth donut and a cake-like donut because when you bite into them they are a little squishy but spring right back. On my first batch I used a simple glaze with traditional powdered sugar and on my second batch I made my own unrefined powdered sugar. The unrefined version had a caramel taste, but we liked both equally and I put pictures and directions for the unrefined version at the bottom of my post.
One day soon I'll attempt the raised (proofed yeast method) and fried donuts, but for now we're pretty happy with this recipe :)

**To make your own unrefined powdered sugar: Blend coconut palm sugar or preferred granulated sugar in a blender or coffee grinder until it is a fine powder. Mix in 1-2 Tbsp. arrowroot flour or cornstarch per cup (after it's a fine powder).
Here's a picture of my unrefined glaze, it had a nice caramel flavor:
