Whiskey and Donuts.
Who would have thought?
But seriously these Irish Whiskey Donuts are the bomb diggity!
Don’t be discouraged by the Whiskey in the recipe, after all it is St. Patrick’s Day!
Not to mention the alcohol bakes out and what you are left with is a really deep, rich layer of flavor that only whiskey can impart to a recipe.
A splash added to my Best Vegan Buttercream Recipe are you will thank me for this, you’ll see!
But of course for those who do not do alcohol in any way shape or form, you can use all milk in place of the whiskey here.
If a Vanilla Donut is what you are after, then simply leave out the coco powder and replace it with that same amount of flour.
