I worked at a bakery in the early 80’s, they added nutmeg to their plain old fashioned donuts. Those were always my favorite. It really adds something to them.

Yes. Californian here. Brian is definitely a cake donut connoisseur. He's 100% right. I'm a yeast donut guy. I'm with you on crullers though. They're pretty bomb. Also, mom-n-pop > chains...at least in Cali, king of the donuts. It's not a true donut experience unless a little Chinese lady with a bad attitude takes your order, then gives you like five free apple fritters.
1000% agree CA is king of donuts - mom and pops are the only way to go. East coast people don’t know. The glazed old fashioned is the GOAT. You need to learn how to fry and get the double edge, otherwise you got lame supermarket style donuts.
I'm French-Canadian and my mother used to make these only at Christmas with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. The house had a scent of Heaven! Yes, the donuts had ridges and they were perfect every time! She made them ''by eye'' and they were perfect every time. They looked exactly like yours.
Thanks much for the r and d ...great to have channels like yours ....I am gearing up ...bought some pastry bags and donut mold bake pan..today...upcoming Wil be mixer etc..Mr donut in the 70s made the best biggest cake donuts..2.25 per dozen...now..nowhere to be found...maybe 15 + per dozen...which brings me to this channel..my new passion is donuts...nut coated... coconut coated ...chocolate...cookies were not my real expertise...maybe they didn't explain it enough in detail...thanks very much...Carl from a little while south of Disney world etc...well70 miles...
Been seeing a lot of clickbait-y type vids from some certain German youtube channels with some creepy info gathering in their CCs. So this was refreshing.
My mom always made the most amazing cake donuts - at nearly 86 y.o., (and since my dad passed away in 2013) she doesn't do as much baking as she used to. Her donuts were spice cake donuts - cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg in the batter. I may try this recipe with the addition of the spices. I love the crunchy ridges on donuts, too, but for some reason, growing up in New England, commercially made donuts always had a smooth surface. Not nearly as yummy!❤️
Cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg sounds amazing!! My favorite cake donut is blueberry, but maybe I should say my favorite cake donut WAS, because spice cake donuts sound out of this world. Much love to your mom!!!
Yes, Old fashion donuts on the west coast have a ring ridge around them. Must be how they're cut or something. Can't wait to try these! My favorite are the blueberry ones and my favorite donuts are also Crullers! SO GOOD!
I watched this video in bed one night and made them the next day for my coworkers and now I’m adding an altered version of them to our brunch menu! You said your favorite donut is a cruller, and it’s mine too, specifically honey crullers. I’d love to see a video for them. Fun fact, crullers are what Auntie Em was giving the farmhands and Dorothy before the twister!
It’s funny how simple things, like Brian finding joy in breaking the donuts apart, adds to the food experience. I know it’s stupid, but to this day, at almost 40, I love fruit snacks. And for me, I have to sort them by color. I’ve done it since I was a kid and now it’s just an unconscious act that makes me smile.
I made these OMG DELICIOUS 😋 Thank you for recipe I also dipped them in chocolate because my husband loves it but he also loved the glazed CAN 'T STOP EATING these delicious cake donuts 🍩
Im Oklahoma and i go to Merritt's Bakery and YES they do have ridges! Every year I make a special desert for thanksgiving...THESE WILL BE THIS YEAR'S 2022 FAMILY DINNER!!! THANK YOU! Last year I made you brandy balls, although I used vanilla crown. They were a hit!!! I'll be "test" making them tomorrow after the plumber leaves.
These look amazing. This is also my favorite donut. I don't even need the glaze that is a plus. Goes great with a cup coffee. Thank you for teaching such great recipes 😊
Here in the mid-west they are called either "sour cream" or "old fashioned" and they have the grooves, but it actually makes them look like wings and those must be what Brian loves to pull off - I do the same. I LOVE THEM.
Yes, I'm with you and Brian on that! Indeed, Yummy Goodness!!! 😀 In parts of the South they are affectionately call "HALO" DOUGHNUTS. But, really they are those delicious Old Fashion Sour Cream Doughnuts with the craters and crunchy edges (wings)! I don't know "why" they are referred to as HALO Doughnuts...perhaps, because they have that distinct crunchy "ring" around them OR perhaps, because they are "heavenly" delicious ???? Who knows, but they are absolutely (hands down) among my favorite doughnuts. *P.S. Shout-outs to the Mid-west!!! 😀
I haven’t made doughnuts since I was in the military. They look great but I also loved the cruller doughnut growing up. Thanks for sharing Brian’s favorite doughnut 💗
Sour cream glazed and old fashioned are my fav! When I worked at Tim’s I used to replace the biscuit for the sandwich with an old fashion donut since donuts were free for us 😅 toasted with butter 👌👌👌
I have always known these as buttermilk donuts, suggesting you can make these with buttermilk instead of sour cream (well, of course you can, but how much buttermilk?)
@@PreppyKitchen i used a tad bit too much butter and it came out like a super super thick cake batter so should i just add more flour or stick with it?
I cannot fathom how John stays so fit looking while creating these high calorie delicacies! He must work out constantly or only eat a few bites of whatever he makes!
He always says he teaches you how to make delicious treats to share with your friends and neighbors so maybe that’s what he really does 😊 I’d love to know his secret lol
@@amyh7070I love to bake too as it relaxes me and takes my mind off other things but I only eat a small amount of what I bake. The rest I give to friends and relatives.
These too, are my favourite donut! The ridges that Brian is talking about, could very well be from a piping tip. I was taught to pipe out rounds onto a parchment square, which is then tipped out into the oil. I never knew old fashion donuts to be rolled out. But by the by...these look fantastic! :)
Like churros! They are piped. Cake donut dough is not that soft. Always rolled and cut. Ridges are from it bursting open when fried and the thinner ridges getting fried to a crisp
The Bakery I go to, the donuts have lot of groves and crispy edges, which I really love. My favoorite one is a Maple Old Fashion or a Old Fashion Buttermilk Bar...
My mother was known for her donuts which had buttermilk in them and a dash of nutmeg. I'm glad to get this ecipe because I think these will be more moist and have the rough edges. I prefer a donut just plain.
Yummmm!! These look amazing John, thank you! I had a rough day, and watching this video made me happier. Thank you so much for sharing. I love old-fashioned donuts, especially pumpkin or blueberry cake donuts. Thanks again!!! Can’t wait to try making these. 💜
Oh my favorite too! We also called them sour cream donuts in the Northwest. So going to try this recipe! Thanks! And all of what you said Brian says about these is so spot on. My thoughts exactly.
When I was 7, I wanted to punish myself by getting a plain donut. Turns out, it was the best thing. Plain old-fashion cake donut. The best I've tried is from Bob's donuts at farmers market LA. I can't wait to try your recipe and see what I can make.
Omg my mouth is watering just watching this. I haven’t had an old fashioned donut in a long time and now I’m craving them 😆. Thank you for the recipe! 👍🏼😋
My Son just asked me to make apple fritters, but I showed him this video, and we are making your donuts.. yummy I can't wait, I even have cake flour, lol.. Hugs from 🇨🇦🤗❤️
Here in Las Vegas it depends on where you get your donuts whether they are ridgy, but most of the time you'll find very ridgy crispy old fashioned donuts. That's my favorite! I even turn them upside down before taking a bite because I want to feel that ridgy deliciousness on my tongue 😛 I also love the powder sugar dusted old fashioned in lieu of the royal icing for a change sometimes. 😋
Those look absolutely AMAZING John! I love cake donuts. I think they are the best donuts 🍩 Whenever I visit a donut shop, I always like to have some cake donuts in the bunch.
John!! Can you make a version of this as a raspberry old fashioned doughnut with lemon flavored icing ? Or vice versa? Maybe that would be amazing!! Love this! Thank you !
@@Lesflr ooh thanks ! Might be worth a try, but I wouldn't know how to approach it. Something to experiment. Maybe a good thumbprint cookie too like lemon thumbprint cookie with raspberry jam filling. I just like that flavor combo! lol
I think you could easily add freeze dried raspberries, finely ground, to the donut dough. Substituting water for lemon juice in the glaze would be perfect. Good Luck!
I can bake almost anything, but I struggle so hard with fried dough. I try to control the temperature, but it always comes out dark on the outside and raw on the inside, so dense, not light at all. I hope I'll learn someday.. BTW, just made your oatmeal muffins with some blueberries, they are really good and so easy!
Idk if you’re budget allows, but they have small deep fryers that allow you to set the temperature so you don’t have to monitor it with a thermometer. I got one from Walmart awhile back and it fits about 3 donuts and it has made frying so much easier.
Thank you John and thank you Brian! Old fashioned cake donuts are the best thing on earth. Too many donut places don't make them right. My theory is that they don't have people in these shops that remember. Can't wait to try making these!
These look incredible! Here in Michigan, our old fashioned sour cream donuts look like this with the yummy glaze holding ridges. But majority of other donut varieties are smooth. Lemon filled are my favorite but harder to find. Apple fritters and cinnamon sugar donuts at the cider mill during Apple picking season are top tier delicious!!
OMG John, these look EXACTLY like they were purchased at our local donut shop here in Sacramento Cal. and we literally JUST came home from there, and I see this!! Definitely ridges here in CA. Plus when my husband Bruce makes donuts or a cake with this type of glaze.....two tbs. of cocoa to the glaze is a MUST!!! Mmmmmmmm. We would love to see you do a chocolate old fashioned with orange zest in the dough, with a chocolate glaze! Please? Stay great you guys....! I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR PEANUT 🥜BUTTER BARS!!! Richard and Bruce in California
Chocolate or double chocolate doughnut recipe would be amazing. So please do a video on that. I have made so many of your recipes and they all come out amazing and perfect with your measurements. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes, please share the chocolate doughnut recipe! I love your recipes and the tips you give and the variety of recipes you share. I can tell you add lots of love to all you make. That is by far your most special ingredient! OXOXOX . Tina from Topeka, Ks
I have been looking for a recipe for New England hand cut donuts for YEARS. My grandmother made them all the time, but I never got the recipe from her. I remember her frying them and letting me flip them over. Such deliciousness!These donuts appear to be the closest to them, so I will try your recipe. Here's hoping.
I love maple-glazed! When I was pregnant with my daughter (24 years ago!) I CRAVED maple-flavored ANYTHING. I used to stop at our local Dunkin' Donuts every morning on my way to work to pick up a couple for breakfast. I haven't made donuts since I was a teen-ager, so it may be well past time for me to do it again! Thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Old fashioned cake donuts have always been my favorite and No one-that is no stores or bakeries make them properly anymore. I lost all my good recipes so I haven't been able to make them but now I can! My flavoring choice is a bit of nutmeg. It adds a warmth to the flavor. Also I prefer mine unglazed. So glad I stumbled across this ✌❤👍
Just made these this morning. They turned out great. Visual appeal and texture were spot on. The flavor was a little lacking (I didn't add anything). I would recommend adding something to the batter...nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or whatever. Otherwise you end up with a donut that is A+ on looks/mouth texture and C on actual flavor. Overall, great recipe.
Oh Thank God !!!! I was afraid this would be another Can Biscuit Fiasco !!!!!!! I don't care what anyone says all the sugar, cinnamon or whatever makes them even close to being good !!!!! This on the other hand was quite Good and fairly Simple, not to mention fun preparing !!!!! Thanks For Sharing !!!!!!
Watched a few of your vids before and thought about subscribing; this one clenched it ! I actually think I can make these ! You do a great job answering and explaining the things that many would ask about, like the mixing and thickness of the dough, etc. I like the fact that you are family friendly ,professional, and can be humorous without vulgarity. Keep smiling buddy, you're doing a great job!
How fun! Tomorrow morning is my once a year donut making day - the grown kids and families still come to enjoy them. My great grandfather’s recipe - very similar, but buttermilk instead of sour cream. Oh yeah - and fry them in lard. 😅 I’ll try the scoring trick this time! And I’ve never used a thermometer. 😳 I’ll try that tomorrow too.
Oh I love these. These are my favorite!! Along with a correctly made cruller. Live in Oh matters on the shop weather called old fashion or sour cream donuts. Some shops the old fashions are just plain cake donuts.
This is my absolute favorite donut! I agree with Brian, love the crispy split part on top in Texas I have seen both types the rough top and rounded. Plus I would love to see a video on all of the different types of Old Fashioned Donuts. Thanks!!
Yum! I’m making these today! I used yogurt instead of sour cream since that’s what I always have in my fridge and added sprinkles for my kids!! I’m impatiently waiting for the oil to heat! Lol can’t wait to eat them!
In California they have lots of ridges (in fact that is the only way I know they are old fashion) I cant wait to try this recipe. My favorite is choc coated, but I would love to try something with light lemon zest with a white glaze. Thanks for sharing.
Hearing you talk about having to keep an eye on the oil temperature so much makes me glad I have a Control Freak induction burner. It never gets too hot, and kicks in and brings the oil back up to temperature quickly after putting in a few donuts.
These look good. You may also want to try Sour Milk donuts from the Betty Crocker Cookbook 1956 edition. They are similarly prepared but spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
There was a donut place years ago hidden in downtown Minneapolis I came across completely by accident, they had the softest/crunchiest sour cream raisin donuts. OMG so good.
I worked at a bakery in the early 80’s, they added nutmeg to their plain old fashioned donuts. Those were always my favorite. It really adds something to them.
in addition, I add mace - yum...great with a caramelized glaze.
Yes !!!! A Delicious Addition, Thanks For Sharing !!!!!

Omg that experience truly is everywhere here in California lol
I agree…Cali is the King of Donuts! 😋 I’m from the Seattle area and I couldn’t believe how many donut shops were around.
Every new donut shop I visit I have to try the cinnamon twist, chocolate old fashion, and sprinkled cake. It’s how I measure my score

The glazed old fashioned is the GOAT. You need to learn how to fry and get the double edge, otherwise you got lame supermarket style donuts.

Stupid and quirky are not the same thing... I'd call that quirky, unless you're afraid of not doing it. Then it would be OCD.
Do you eat them from least favorite flavor to most?
I do that with pretty much every colored candies! And, yes, I eat them by favorite flavors last so it’s the last thing I taste😂😂

I second this, I would love to see a video made of this version of the recipe!! 💜 Sounds like a perfect summer treat!
@@coffeecake8835 oh thank you !! That's brilliant!
These were divine!
I needed an extra 40 grams of cake flour for my high elevation but that was the only change I needed. Thanks for a stellar recipe!
How high are you?
I am at 4,000'.
I can bake almost anything, but I struggle so hard with fried dough. I try to control the temperature, but it always comes out dark on the outside and raw on the inside, so dense, not light at all. I hope I'll learn someday..
BTW, just made your oatmeal muffins with some blueberries, they are really good and so easy!
Idk if you’re budget allows, but they have small deep fryers that allow you to set the temperature so you don’t have to monitor it with a thermometer. I got one from Walmart awhile back and it fits about 3 donuts and it has made frying so much easier.
@@CaliGurl254 good idea, thanks!
Thank you John and thank you Brian! Old fashioned cake donuts are the best thing on earth. Too many donut places don't make them right. My theory is that they don't have people in these shops that remember. Can't wait to try making these!
These look incredible! Here in Michigan, our old fashioned sour cream donuts look like this with the yummy glaze holding ridges. But majority of other donut varieties are smooth. Lemon filled are my favorite but harder to find. Apple fritters and cinnamon sugar donuts at the cider mill during Apple picking season are top tier delicious!!
I don't even cook but ur voice is nice and calming I watched all the way through. Very good for anxious ppl
OMG John, these look EXACTLY like they were purchased at our local donut shop here in Sacramento Cal. and we literally JUST came home from there, and I see this!! Definitely ridges here in CA. Plus when my husband Bruce makes donuts or a cake with this type of glaze.....two tbs. of cocoa to the glaze is a MUST!!! Mmmmmmmm. We would love to see you do a chocolate old fashioned with orange zest in the dough, with a chocolate glaze! Please? Stay great you guys....! I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR PEANUT 🥜BUTTER BARS!!!

Dear Jhon, I have recooked your recipe,its total 10, crunchy outside,moist and soft inside. Everyone loves it. Thx for sharing. Monica Indonesia
crullers are also my favorite donut! would love to see you do homemade ones!
So underrated! I prefer old fashion donuts over anything
Chocolate or double chocolate doughnut recipe would be amazing. So please do a video on that. I have made so many of your recipes and they all come out amazing and perfect with your measurements. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes, please share the chocolate doughnut recipe! I love your recipes and the tips you give and the variety of recipes you share. I can tell you add lots of love to all you make. That is by far your most special ingredient! OXOXOX . Tina from Topeka, Ks
I have been looking for a recipe for New England hand cut donuts for YEARS. My grandmother made them all the time, but I never got the recipe from her. I remember her frying them and letting me flip them over. Such deliciousness!These donuts appear to be the closest to them, so I will try your recipe. Here's hoping.
My fave! Mace is a superior replacement to nutmeg for my taste. Thank you for the demo.
They look great! When I make old-fashioned donuts, I like to use cinnamon sugar in place of the glaze and leave a few plain for dipping into milk.
I love maple-glazed! When I was pregnant with my daughter (24 years ago!) I CRAVED maple-flavored ANYTHING. I used to stop at our local Dunkin' Donuts every morning on my way to work to pick up a couple for breakfast.
I haven't made donuts since I was a teen-ager, so it may be well past time for me to do it again! Thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Old fashioned cake donuts have always been my favorite and No one-that is no stores or bakeries make them properly anymore. I lost all my good recipes so I haven't been able to make them but now I can! My flavoring choice is a bit of nutmeg. It adds a warmth to the flavor. Also I prefer mine unglazed. So glad I stumbled across this ✌❤👍
Your doughnuts were put together in perfection.
Just made these this morning. They turned out great. Visual appeal and texture were spot on. The flavor was a little lacking (I didn't add anything). I would recommend adding something to the batter...nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or whatever. Otherwise you end up with a donut that is A+ on looks/mouth texture and C on actual flavor. Overall, great recipe.
i moved from chicago and have been MISSING those Stan's chocolate orange old fashioneds for YEARS. excited to see if i can recreate them now
john’s adorable, smiling face on every thumbnail of his videos ALWAYS brings sunshine to my dreary, rainy days. like today. thank you so much john!!!
Oh Thank God !!!! I was afraid this would be another Can Biscuit Fiasco !!!!!!! I don't care what anyone says all the sugar, cinnamon or whatever makes them even close to being good !!!!! This on the other hand was quite Good and fairly Simple, not to mention fun preparing !!!!! Thanks For Sharing !!!!!!
Watched a few of your vids before and thought about subscribing; this one clenched it ! I actually think I can make these ! You do a great job answering and explaining the things that many would ask about, like the mixing and thickness of the dough, etc.
I like the fact that you are family friendly ,professional, and can be humorous without vulgarity.
Keep smiling buddy, you're doing a great job!
I have found that using my Danish dough whisk is a great tool for mixing in flour without over mixing.
Crullers are my favorite, too.
How fun! Tomorrow morning is my once a year donut making day - the grown kids and families still come to enjoy them. My great grandfather’s recipe - very similar, but buttermilk instead of sour cream. Oh yeah - and fry them in lard. 😅
I’ll try the scoring trick this time!
And I’ve never used a thermometer. 😳 I’ll try that tomorrow too.
Oh I love these. These are my favorite!! Along with a correctly made cruller. Live in Oh matters on the shop weather called old fashion or sour cream donuts. Some shops the old fashions are just plain cake donuts.
Crullers are my favorite too, super light and moist almost juicy they’re amazing. Also any cake donut heated up with ice cream
I agree with Brian that the crunchy outer edge is the best! :) That is how they are made in the midwest too. Thanks for the great recipe
Hi John, I pity all your students having lost a great maths teacher but I’m glad to get brilliant lectures in cooking by you. 😅💐
This is my absolute favorite donut! I agree with Brian, love the crispy split part on top in Texas I have seen both types the rough top and rounded. Plus I would love to see a video on all of the different types of Old Fashioned Donuts. Thanks!!
Old Fashion plain are my favorite donuts. In Seattle and where I now live in Texas, all the Old Fashioned had the ridges around the top.
Old fashioned glazed donuts are my favorite! The flavor I love the most are Lemon followed by Chocolate. Your recipe looks absolutely delicious 😋
My favorite too. So much so that I might even try making them. Brian is right about every detail. Your end result is perfect.
The famous Los Angeles glazed buttermilk bar! Thanks for the recipe. My wife will be ecstatic when I make these for her.
Truly an easy to follow and incredibly delicious recipe. Spectacular.
Yum! I’m making these today! I used yogurt instead of sour cream since that’s what I always have in my fridge and added sprinkles for my kids!! I’m impatiently waiting for the oil to heat! Lol can’t wait to eat them!
I am a very very big fan of lemon
pie
cake
filled donuts too
love watching you cook
I love Old Fashioned Doughnuts. My favorite is Chocolate. The Orange Zest sounds Delicious.
I love an old fashioned glaze donuts and yes on the west coast we have crispy ridges and edges. That is that best part.
In California they have lots of ridges (in fact that is the only way I know they are old fashion) I cant wait to try this recipe. My favorite is choc coated, but I would love to try something with light lemon zest with a white glaze. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in Canada and we have amazing ridges and this is my favourite donut!!!
Excellent video I can’t wait to make these!
Cheers and love from Canada 🇨🇦
Eugene Oregon is definitely a doughnut ridge kind of city.😘 Brian is absolutely correct about the crispy crack in the top!
Hearing you talk about having to keep an eye on the oil temperature so much makes me glad I have a Control Freak induction burner. It never gets too hot, and kicks in and brings the oil back up to temperature quickly after putting in a few donuts.
Yes! Here in Cali’ all old fashion doughnuts have crispy edges.yum!
These look good. You may also want to try Sour Milk donuts from the Betty Crocker Cookbook 1956 edition. They are similarly prepared but spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
There was a donut place years ago hidden in downtown Minneapolis I came across completely by accident, they had the softest/crunchiest sour cream raisin donuts. OMG so good.
