Donut Sugar

On a shopping spree at "Grandma's Pantry" in Harrisonburg, VA, I bought some 'Donut Sugar' which ingredients are: "Dextrose, Modified Corn Starch, Vegetable Shortening, Rice Flour & Artificial Flavors."

After reading a posting "Doughnuts storage," now I'm wondering if this is to be used in making glazed dougnuts? instead of just a fine sugar that is used in 'shaking' over doughnuts.

I've not made doughnuts before, so I'm curious, as I'm getting prepared to try.

Thanks. Dee

You can try it and will certainly be pleased with the result . Procure some crystalline glucose (or chemically known as dextrose mononhydrate) use it to dust your donuts instead of table sugar and you will see the different sensory feeling and its less sweet, as well.In fact that is one of the less known secret of institutional donut manufacturers; dextrose is their common coating sugar for such food product. It produces a cooling effect in the mouth which is contrary to what you experienced with sucrose( table sugar). Think of it , its pure and crystalline glucose. Roy
