Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
I learned several things from this experience:1. I do not enjoy frying things. I have battle scars to prove it.
2. I really do not enjoy frying things. It makes a huge, huge mess.
3. I really, really do not enjoy frying things. I am not able to determine proper doneness.
The donuts were ready in a flash. Some are quite overdone. I tried to adjust for this, and those ended up a little gooey inside. Only a few came out perfectly.
By the time I got to the donut holes, things seemed to work out a little better for me.
For the time and energy I put into making these, I could have driven to DD and back AT LEAST 10 times.
Granted, these were cake-like and apple cider flavored....but bloody hell, it was a lot of work for something that didn't taste that special.
Don't think I am a wimp. There are many things I will work overtime for.....
So if you are good at making donuts, please let me know your secret!

I'm impressed that you even gave it a go! They look yummy :)
Man, i have been wanting to make those doughnuts for a week now but can't find Apple Cider! Glad to hear what worked and what didn't.
The donuts took a lot of shortening to make it enough to fry in, nearly a whole large tub of crisco. The donut holes were the best. I had many donuts that fell apart, and Lucas calls them donut worms! ha! They aren't bad at all, I would definately try again to try to make it better.
