Amish donuts were listed as a food item at the Iowa State Fair. I have tried for YEARS to make an Amish donut and have never been successful. It could be that I have failed because I am not Amish or, perhaps it is because I do not know how to do it!
I especially like the fluffy, yeast dough in the final product. I know they have a light maple flavor in the glaze but it's the dough that I can't seem to duplicate. Maybe I am using the wrong flour...I've tried both regular flour and bread flour...no go. The result for me is too dense and hardly any yeast flavor.
If someone has a recipe, I'd surely like to try. No, I don't need these...but it would save a trip to the Iowa State Fair and I'm in NC!
