Donut Taste Test

Author Per Donnie
The Lil' Orbits taste test kit may have been pricey, but it was worth the opportunity to try the donuts first hand. They are really delightful. They must be hard to screw up because we didn't, he he. We did not perfect the use of the little batter dropper that was included. Our donuts looked rather odd, but they were quite tasty. We had comparison products from our local convenience store: Dolly Madison Mini Donuts (cake with powdered sugar; $0.75/six) and off-the shelf Krispy Kreme Donut holes ($1.79 for five). Our warm Lil' Orbits beat them hands down. The aroma filled our kitchen. We made some with the partially hydrogenated soybean oil provided and some others were cooked in Kroger brand Vegetable oil. There was a definite unpleasant after-taste to be had with the alternative oil, and the donuts cooked in that oil were greasy.
The experiment sold us on the Lil' Orbit batter. They were the best donuts I had ever eaten. We plan on testing partially hydrogenated soybean oil obtained locally against the Lil Orbits brand oil.
Testing Donut Recipe Video
Below is our first test of the Lil Orbits Donut Recipe, something we are considering going with.... The video is not the best quality but wanted to give everyone an idea of what we are up to... Bob recorded the video with his iphone... using a tool called qik.com Really pretty cool..... We are going to do the taste test again and record it, this time a little better quality. We weren't really prepared for this taste test, next time we will be. Thanks for all the comments, 
We are slowly but surely getting this off the ground.... The video is about 10 minutes in length... thanks for all the nice emails we have received about the blog, it has been awhile in the making....
