Donuts by Alain Ducasse

Here is the perfect snack for a Fall or Winter weekend or… for whenever you want!! You will just need a little bit of time but it’s so much worth it!!! Here are the donuts by Alain Ducasse !

So let me be clear right away, we are not going to make thick or compact donuts.

No, no, no… Come on! It’s a Alain Ducasse recipe you guys!

We will talking about smooth, light, sweet but not too much… Well, if those donuts weren’t fried, I would almost say that they are diet donuts…

Okay… maybe not diet diet… But you see what I mean!!

They are amazingly delicious!!

You will need 5 hours for the whole preparation and cooking time, there are several rising times.

Most important part, get icing sugar, chocolate, jam, peanut butter or lemon icing…

The utensils:

I think you’re ready to start…

The recipe, Chef!
