I had been seeing some recipes online about how to make these using King's Hawaiian rolls. They are little slightly sweet rolls here often used for sliders. Anyway, they were pretty simple to make .and did taste quite similar to real donuts. I will make them again sometime

Interesting. Did you make the cream filling? I've been looking through some bread/baking books. There is a recipe for "Italian doughnuts" that has caught my eye.

Yes, I used a homemade whipped cream with heavy cream and powdered sugar folded into vanilla instant pudding. You use a combo of heavy cream and melted chocolate chips for the icing on top. Molly Yeh, made some similar donuts to these use a vanilla tahini filling..no chocolate on top.

Hmm, that sounds like a quick way to get a Boston creme donut. I suppose that you could make them jelly filled and sprinkle confectionary sugar on them too.

I love donuts filled with custard, we call them Bomboloni in Italy.

They had a nice flavor and weren't overwhelming.

Real donuts are too expensive these days..unless you get them on sale or something. Alot of junk in them too.

Not too hard, a bit time consuming.

I do like Boston Creme donuts and also Kings Hawaiian rolls but never would have thought to make donuts out of those rolls. Sounds delicious!

They were good..a bit time consuming, but worth it. There are several different recipes for these online. This looked to be the simplest.
