I make cake donuts four times per week for local stores and I have found that using lard produces the best flavor and least grease. Canola oil is more economical and still tastes good but lard is by far much better! I make pumpkin donuts in the fall and they are to die for! Good luck everyone! Meredith, we'd love it if you'd share your pumpkin doughnut recipe on our community site - if it's not a secret! :) PJH
