I've never been a fan of Amish doughnuts, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did because they're actually really good!

These doughnuts are a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier doughnut.

I'm not a fan of the nutmeg in these doughnuts. I think it's a bit overpowering.

These doughnuts are just ok. They're not the best doughnuts I've ever had, but they're not bad either.

The glaze on these doughnuts is too thick and sticky. I prefer a thinner glaze.

These doughnuts are really dry. I wish I had added more milk to the batter.

I love the fact that these doughnuts are baked, not fried. It makes them a little bit healthier.
