All Days of our Lives fans know about Alice Horton and her famous doughnut recipe. A favorite treat that Jennifer Horton has seem to manage to make for the family and friends. The comfort snack Jen serves to all her events she attends. Keeping Alice Horton’s name alive on the NBC soap opera.

Having a family heirloom recipe is a great way to keep the tradition going for all recipes. I only hope we see Thomas get to make these in years to come. JJ seem to have the knack for helping in the kitchen making these one time. We’ll get to that later in this article.

So, give this a go and try and make these. The great thing is they are baked and not deep fried. There are many ways to coat your doughnut too. Try using powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, glaze some and frost a few with sprinkles.

Yields: 36 doughnuts and 36 holes

Remember the episode when JJ helped make doughnuts for his friends and Jen’s meeting at the Horton house?

JJ laced the doughnuts to take to his friends. While at the same time Adrienne came into the kitchen to get some to take out to all the guests.

Unbenounced to Adrienne, she grabbed the one’s JJ had “prepared” for his party buddies and she took the laced one’s out to the ladies. Results were one stoned bunch of ladies and the teenagers got regular old Alice Horton doughnuts with plain powdered sugar!
