Who misses donut holes or funnel cakes? - Page 6

Just couldn't help myself, I had to resurrect this old thread. These are oh! so yummy! I made them at least every other day last year, and still lost weight.

squeezy · 11-14-2008, 08:44 AM

Just bumping this to say that these are really amazing. I make them with zero-carb PP, a little less melted butter and fry them in CO and it's basically a free food. Except it feels really indulgent so I don't eat it every day...

fried in coconut oil -virgin

I didnt like these, very hard to chew, even my butter knife couldnt cut into them, it just felt like rubber when tring to cut them, I was going to do a jelly doughnut, but couldnt cut it open...

dang I wish I could find something I like for bread/dessert like things

I know this post is older but I had to say,that once I accidientally used egg white powder instead of bake mix in a different recipe and it was horribly funny! It was too chewy and just plain ODD!

Like old bubble gum

I havent maede this yet but it looks promising.. BF was complaining about the cost of donuts just two days ago, amd if these are good then I can be a hero!

SkeeterN · 11-28-2009, 07:17 AM

Took pictures today. I added chopped pecans to the mix and they turned out great.

jlatislaw · 11-28-2009, 08:49 AM

I had forgotten all about these

Thanks for reminding us - tomorrow's brkfst treat!

I thank you too, Skeeter. It was todays snack for hubby and me.

I had totally forgotten about them. BTW, your pictures look amazing.

Mine weren't quite that pretty.

pendragginp · 11-28-2009, 04:37 PM

These looked so good I made them tonight - thanks to you all for bringing this thread back up to the top.

Because of the season I used DaVinci Eggnogg syrup for the splenda in the batter and added cinnamon too, as someone suggested somewhere upthread. Yum!

tina1973 · 12-02-2009, 10:47 AM

Thank you for dragging up this thread! OMG...I'm eating a batch right now. So, they didn't turn out quite as perfect looking as I'd hoped, but they taste delicious.

I think I was worried about about getting the oil too hot, so it ended up being too cold...lol. Oh well, I'll work on it. I'll be making these again tomorrow.

My favorite LC treat in the 5 years I've been doing it!

Has anyone tried making these savory? I guess like hushpuppies or something?

Lil Donna · 12-03-2009, 02:31 PM

Ok I am going to attempt to make these as I am craving something doughy!!!

Wish me luck!

Ok I made these with the SF chocolate syrup and they didn't turn out like balls more like string. Still good but I will do Skeeters exact recipe next time.

debkeversole · 12-03-2009, 03:34 PM

sounds yummy

Aptos Gal · 12-03-2009, 06:23 PM

I think I've died and gone to low carb heaven. I have to make these!!

wishbone · 12-25-2009, 02:36 PM

These were fantastic!! At work we sell an item called Funnell Fries. Dh is kinda addicted to them. I told him today I wanted to try something that might be real similiar to them. He gave them the

JAN

Boudica · 12-25-2009, 03:32 PM

I've recently tried them this way:

1/4 C Egg Beaters
1 scoop vanilla PP
1t vanilla
1t cinnamon

Beat together then fry by spoon drops full about 2 mins each side. There are GREAT! Even lower cal than with the regular egg.

LinearChaos · 12-28-2009, 07:46 PM

These are pretty good, mine weren't exactly round. But they fried up in my frydaddy perfectly.

Now to work on a glaze for them...

Tyl · 02-18-2010, 05:32 PM

i love this. eating for dinner tonight w tea.

worldlove · 02-20-2010, 04:21 PM

I tried this last night and this is now my FAVORITE low carb snack. Sooo good. The first batch ....the oil was too hot and the outside cooked too fast and the inside wasn't cooked. The second time I kinda burned them...but they STILL tasted yummy. I'm gonna keep experimenting until I can get them just right. I'm actually thinking about next time just making a big pancake and eating it like a true funnel cake! ;-)

translationmx · 02-21-2010, 12:23 AM

bump!

darlingnikki · 02-21-2010, 03:42 PM

I would like to say I just made this and is worth the time and effort...very good!

Ginaaaaaa · 02-21-2010, 05:13 PM

Just made a batch..they are pretty darn tasty!!!

darlingnikki · 02-21-2010, 05:56 PM

Ok so if I omit the spenda and use plain whey powder I think it would be incredible
tempura batter!

Gweebles · 02-21-2010, 07:04 PM

OMG YOU SAVED MY SANITY! Mom and my DD were making donuts

so I fried up some of these faux-nuts and dipped them in Walden Farms pancake syrup. I felt like I was cheating, these are so freaking satisfying!

jigglenomore · 02-22-2010, 01:16 PM

TEMPURA BATTER??!!! Can it really be true?

I'm going to try this soon and will be back with the results! What a great idea Darlingnikki!

CarolynF · 02-22-2010, 03:21 PM

Just made my first batch..I ate 6, too..They go down really easily..

darlingnikki · 02-22-2010, 03:53 PM

let me know, jiggle, I have no natural flavour whey and I don't want to buy one for naught!

Beeb · 02-23-2010, 09:18 AM

Here are 2 different ways to make these besides the Protein Powder way:

Bake Mix Recipe:

3 1/2 Tbls Bake Mix of Choice

1 teas Sweetener of Choice

1/4 teas cinnamon

1/4 teas Baking Powder

1 large Egg White, beaten

3 Tbs Water

Beat Egg White until frothy with sweetener and water.
Add dry ingredients and combine well
Fry batter in oil of choice until crispy and golden brown
Sprinkle with more sweetener (optional)

Almond Flour Recipe:

3 Tbs Almond Flour

1/2 teas Sweetener of Choice

1/4 teas Cinnamon

1/4 teas Baking Powder

1 Large Egg White, beaten

2 Tbls Water

Instructions as the same as for the Bake Mix Recipe above.

I have done all three; Protein Powder, Bake Mix and Almond Flour and I LOVE THEM ALL!

I just use whatever I have on hand at the time I want a donut!

CarolynF · 02-23-2010, 09:59 AM

Owww..thanks everyone for the variations..

Will try some almond flour ones later today..

Okay..now, ladies how are we going to fill these with SF pudding?? or SF jelly..??

I tried smearing some SF on the top of one..very good..

I love jelly donuts..alot.
