Cashew Sugared Donut Holes

Cashew Sugared Donut Holes are an original. Little round deep fried donuts are rolled in a coconut maple flavor mixture with finely ground cashews.

There is something that is very enticing about a little round donut. I mean you can pop one in your mount all at once. Nice and neat and clean and delicious.

Donuts are pretty well accepted as a weekend treat. It’s a family affair. When we were kids mom would make us donuts – just once in a while. Sort of like pancakes.

A sweet indulgence that put a smile on everyone’s face.

If you haven’t made donut holes before, this would be a great recipe for your first attempt. Even if they are just for you. Cashew sugared donut holes freeze well so you can save the extras for a later time.

 

Is it Donut or Doughnut?

• One thing we know is how Dunkin’ Donuts thinks it’s spelled.
• I may be showing my age but when I was growing up it was Winchell’s Donuts or neighborhood donut shops. I think Dunkin Donuts was only on the east coast.
• If you look up information on the word donut on the internet it switches automatically to doughnut.
• It turns out doughtnut is the original spelling and it was shortened in America for certain instances. Such as for the 1939 World’s Fair and by Dunkin Donuts in the 40’s.
• Not that it wasn’t misspelled a couple of times before that but now it can be spelled either way.

 

If you have a deep fryer then you can absolutely use it instead of a frying pan. Heat enough oil to cover the little donut holes and then carefully drop in about 4 holes at a time.

You don’t want to overcrowd or cool the oil so a few at a time works great. Then set on a plate that has a couple of paper towels on it so that the extra oil can drain off the donuts.

Also, have you ever have a donut that you didn’t like? Me either. Let’s make some!

How about some donuts that you’ve had had anything like before. These are just great!
