    I've been looking for a good recipe for these and this looks like the one! Most recipes involve frying the doughnuts. I have nothing, not one thing, against frying except for the way it makes my house smell. Making muffins will be even easier. Thanks for posting this!

    These were really yummy and they actually do have more a doughnut flavor/texture--I used sucanut substituted for 1/2 the amt. of white sugar and 1/2 amt wheat pastry flour substituted for white flour and they were great!
