So just beware if you’re going to make your own buttermilk. The directions state to take 1 cup of milk + 1 tbsp of vinegar and let it sit for 15 min before incorporating. Well unfortunately the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of buttermilk and I failed to see that on the recipe! I added the whole cup and my dough is now too liquidity to be rolled out.

In reply to Kate H.. LOL I understand. Usually spelt flour can be substitute cup for cup for all-purpose flour. Having said that, I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure of the outcome, but they can't be bad. :)

Hi Jo! Wondering if and how I could substitute sprouted spelt flour and coconut sugar for the all-purpose and granulated. It’s randomly all I have on hand lol. Trying to ruin a good thing by making it “healthy” ish.

Hi! Is it really a whole tbsp of baking powder or is it 1 tsp? Thank you!

In reply to Tina. Yes, the butter definitely plays a role, but many times you can substitute it with applesauce or in this case apple butter and still end up with a moist dough for the donuts. So the answer to your question is you can directly substitute it.

Hi, I’m hoping to make these donuts this weekend– the air is chilly and they sound perfect for fall!

Just to clarify a point asked previously: If I add apple butter, is it in addition to all ingredients or to substitute the butter? I’m thinking the fat from the butter would still be necessary. Thank you so much for this yummy looking recipe!

In reply to Donna. That's right, it should be fine.
