kung ang potato ay spudnuts.. so ang tawag sa camote (sweet potato) ay sweet spudnuts? :)

I’ll be making these Easter Sunday. I’ve always bought yeast in a small jar, so had to research 1 envelope…turns out that it is assumed to be 2 1/4 tsp. BUT recently internet info says it is now 2 tsp. Other info also states that 1 envelope could be 7 grams in the USA, 8 grams in Canada and 11 grams in Europe. I’ll go with 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast, but recipe says instant, hope it turns out well.

Thanks for the tip MM, will try incorporating yams in my donut recipe.
I have been making a lot of donuts lately using brioche dough, honey maple bacon, nutella chestnut, and chocolate walnut. I highly recommend that you try the honey maple bacon donut. I’ve also made a giant donut about 9″ in diameter.

Trax, you do need SOME baking skills, and knowledge of kneading if you don’t have a mixer that will knead it for you… :)

this is great. i have been wanting to make doughnuts for so long. the thing that’s keeping me is that i don’t have kitchen aids and i don’t have baking skills. do you need those to be able to make doughnuts? i hope i will be able to try this. thanks for sharing MM.

now, if only someone can share a trusty bavarian cream recipe, i would appreciate that a lot.

hi marketman, have tried to cook something like this just about a week or two ago. instead of using sweet potato what i added was potato and i fried the donuts to golden brown perfection…i also tried to add in another batch although i enjoyed the taste and the texture of those with the potatoes instead…

Scramoodles, you are right, you can blitz coarse sugar in a food processor. Or buy caster sugar by Peotraco, which is finer than regular grocery available granulated sugar. Millet, thanks, just saw the photos now! Not sure if the visit was for their magazine or new television show or both… :)

so popular in Malaysia… I kept going back to the stall that sold them…
Am editing and blogging my Asian trips… and missing the warm weather and food while am so cold here in Europe.
