150 Best Donut Recipes: Fried or Baked

This collection of delectable recipes features a wide variety of choices.

Topped with an irresistible chocolate glaze or simply rolled in cinnamon, fresh homemade donuts are impossible to resist. Whatever your preference -- the fluffy yeast style or the decadently dense cake variety -- donuts are fun and surprisingly easy to make at home. You know you're using quality ingredients when you make your own donuts, and the freshness certainly can't be beat!

With 150 luscious recipes to choose from, this collection offers raised, baked, cake-based, holiday, specialty and one-bite donuts, as well as toppings, icings, sugars and fresh fillings. And the special "Making Donuts, Step-by-Step" section, with detailed photography and instructions, will appeal to novice and experienced bakers alike.

Where to begin when all the recipes are so incredibly tempting? You could start the week by baking Perfect Chocolate-Glazed Donuts, then try Mandarin Orange Donuts for your book club meeting and make one-bite donuts, like Strawberry Cream Bites, for the little ones or for afternoon tea. But don't stop there when there are so many other options to explore!
