I made doughnuts for the first time today. Not cake doughnuts, yeast doughnuts. I used one of KAF’s standard donut recipes, and Alton Brown’s chocolate glaze recipe.
The doughnuts themselves came out perfectly; well-formed, paper-thin crust, just a little crackly, and soft but slightly chewy crumb. The frying went fine.
I was unimpressed with the chocolate glaze. Perhaps it was my fault; the only chocolate I had in the house was store-brand, semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Does anyone have a much-loved recipe for doughnut glaze? And it doesn’t have to be chocolate!
