The doughnuts were good, but they didn't have a lot of flavor.

I had a hard time getting the doughnuts to rise properly. They ended up being a bit dense.

These doughnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These doughnuts are delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the glaze.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cardamom, but I'm so glad I did! The cardamom flavor is very subtle, and it really complements the other flavors in the doughnuts.

I've made these doughnuts several times now, and they always turn out great. They're a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.
