    I saw a doughnut like these on a show called "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". A chef shared that these were his favorite bacon dish. I was lamenting how I would never get to try one, UNTIL NOW! You rock - thanks so much for sharing! ^5

    They can usually hold for a day or two, but like any doughnut they don't have a long shelf life.

    I wish there was a way to make them stay fresh for longer than an hour. I made a huge batch of apple cider doughnuts, fried them up, let them cool then froze them right away to try and capture that freshness but to no avail. If anyone knows how to keep them moist, let me know. Great post, Zk. LOVE the bacon addition!
