Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves until combined.
-
Step 2.
Prepare 1 batch of your chosen cake dough as directed, but replace the nutmeg specified in the recipe with the spice mixture you just made, and replace the superfine sugar with ⅓ cup brown sugar. Add 2 tablespoons molasses along with the vanilla extract called for in the dough recipe.
-
Step 3.
Fry or bake the doughnuts according to the original dough recipe's instructions. For traditional doughnuts, shape and fry or bake as directed; for drop doughnuts, drop spoonfuls of dough into hot oil or onto a baking sheet.
-
Step 4.
After the doughnuts have cooled slightly, glaze them with 1 batch of Ginger glaze. If desired, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger chips while the glaze is still wet.
