made these this weekend and they were delicious! but the next morning the coating had all dissolved and the donuts were wet and sticky. I tried adding another coating but had the same thing happen within a couple hours. still got compliments from the few brave enough to try them!
Sarah, try leaving them only lightly wrapped; I like to put them in a single layer under a large cover from a plastic deli takeout tray. Also, leave them on a rack. Or - don't sugar them until just before you're going to serve (or within an hour or so). All of these steps should help - it's moisture absorbed by the sugar, combined with lack of air circulation, causing this. PJH
