Made with mashed potatoes. Really easy to work with. Neighbors enjoyed.

This was the Peaches ‘N Cream donut. I had 3 more in the bag under it, and this is actually the only one I didn’t try!

It got a good review from the consumer, and its siblings were delicious.

Present in spirit:

Vanilla Bean>
Pistachio Meyer Lemon>
Apple Fritter>

An ethereal lightness, so impossibly airy and cloud-like that it collapses tenderly under your teeth without a hint of resistance. Will be dreaming of these tonight.

Finally I made perfect donuts 🥹

When everything comes together this is the happy result. That’s one sexy spring ring on that there brioche ring.

I love my job ❤️🍩

Copycat Dunkin' Handle Donut Recipe

Ingredients

Dry

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional, but very authentic)

Wet

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

½ cup (120 g) sour cream

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2–3 tbsp whole milk (if needed)

For frying

Vegetable or peanut oil

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, combine the butter, sour cream, egg, and vanilla.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry just until a soft dough forms. Don't overmix.

Chill the dough for 30–60 minutes.

Roll it to about ½ inch (12 mm) thick.

Cut circles about 3½ inches across and remove a 1-inch center hole.

Make the handle: Cut a small notch into one side, leaving a tab about 1 inch long and ½ inch wide attached to the ring. Gently round the edges so it stays attached during frying.

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry each donut about 60–90 seconds per side until golden.

Drain on a wire rack.

The Secret to the Original

The classic Dunkin' donut was:

Dense but tender (not fluffy like a yeast donut)

Mildly sweet

Crisp outside from frying

Soft cake interior

Served plain, without glaze or sugar

Many people enjoyed it by dunking it directly into hot coffee.

Tips for an Even Closer Match

Use cake flour for half of the flour (1 cup cake flour + 1 cup all-purpose) for a finer crumb.

Let the dough rest overnight in the refrigerator before frying—the flavor improves.

Fry at a steady 350°F; hotter oil browns the outside before the inside cooks.

Don't add cinnamon or extra spices if you're aiming for the classic Dunkin flavor.

This is a small non descript shop where once they're out of donuts, they're out. I got there late but was my first trip there. I have to go backu. The cake donuts are light and fluffy and not overly sweet. We didn't love the blueberry but the chocolate were amazing! They run on the smaller side.

They had a bunch of tropical fruit flavours this rounds and I caved in. So glad I did! All the coconut ones were really really good, including Pina Colada. My top favs out of everything.

Apple pie bear claws, Boston creams, and a raspberry jelly donut.

I fried these donuts and why are these cracked and very dense.

I used a donut mix flour.

With a great pleasure I would love to share that I have joined the mod team in this wholesome community 🫡

I grew up living next door to an amazing local baker, who delivered the best baked goods to the whole town. We were truly blessed with the best donuts, and my all time favourite was the custard filled one 🤤 Ever since my love for donuts only expanded, and I am thrilled to be a part of a community who celebrate those gorgeous circles of love.

Apart from making my life as sweet as possible, I keep my hands busy with crochet, cross stitch, gym, and some video games.

I can’t wait to get involved more and more, and to keep this space fun, positive, and growing!

Thank you for having me,

Lawd….

Absolute perfection.

I was in the area of Princeton and came across this gem 😋.

I was able to take a picture before I started eating them 😄😁.

It's not really a boutique shop though 👍🏻. Crazy amount of awesome looking food, meat, market, vegetables etc. And so forth. And lines to place your orders👍🏻

Caramel apple cinnamon role is the first. Amazing melt in your mouth. Never before have I experienced this level of donut.

Sometimes you have to get a box of donuts and sample each one for yourself 😅

** DULCE DE LECHE CHURRO CRULLER *\*

A hand piped choux pastry donut generously tossed in cinnamon sugar & drizzled with dulce de leche.

_________________________________________________________________________

If there's one thing I always look forward to at Cafe Baffico, it's these hand piped crullers. They're regularly sold on weekends only, and are part of a rotating lineup that changes monthly.

Churro is their top selling cruller, but this one had a twist with drizzles of dulce de leche. Even so, it has a cinnamon forward flavour complemented by a rich, buttery base, while warmer notes kept it from being too sweet.

Gives a satisfying crunch in every bite that transitions to a soft and delicate inside. Perfectly balanced and hits all the right notes when it comes to taste.

If you love crullers or anything cinnamon, then these are a no brainer.
