Just being 2 of us, I cut the recipe in half, which gave us 21 donuts, and a half dozen donut holes; I used the rest of the holes to mix back into the dough to make more donuts. We were quite happy with the results. Since it calls for “3 or 4” eggs, I used 2; otherwise all amounts were exactly cut in half.
I didn’t have the same wild rising problem Red_Devil 232 did. I sat the bowl of dough on the open door of the warming oven of the kitchen wood range to rise & punch down a few times.
We coated them with cinnamon sugar, rather than using the glaze, with great results.
Not having a donut cutter, I used a regular-mouth Mason jar lid-ring to cut the main donut, and the cap from a 1 liter size plastic soda bottle to cut out the holes.
Allowing the dough to rise in the fridge over night allows dough time to mature and have a better flavor. Texture will be finer also.
