Doughnuts

SATURDAY!

My crazy travel schedule has me all turned around this week - is it really only Wednesday? Let me rephrase, when it is socially acceptable to start eating donuts?

When I was a kid you convince me to do just about anything by bribing me with donuts. Swim practice, sure as long as I get those Dunkin Donuts munchins after. Church, great as long as I am allowed to eat those those Publix glazed donuts they served after. Don’t judge but this may still holds true as an adult. This recipe comes from a cookbook I wrote when I was in the @williamssonoma test kitchen. My colleague @emilymcfarren wrote it and it is brilliant. I was going to come up with my own but this one is too good and doesn’t need to be changed. Couple notes about the recipe: First and most importantly be very very careful with that oil. It is hot! It is best to use a thermometer to keep the oil temperature at 325°F, otherwise the donuts may get too dark. 325°F lets the donut cook through without burning. (Sharing more tips on frying on my site) Also I like to dip my donuts in chocolate glaze and top with toasted coconut but feel free to use whatever glaze or frosting that you want. I would recommend re-rolling the dough only once to get 8 donuts. If you re-roll the dough any more than that, the dough will get too tough and your donuts won’t be light and fluffy.

Homemade Old-Fashioned Doughnuts with a Honey-Lemon Glaze. Make the dough, roll & cut out rounds, fry and glaze 'em. These doughnuts evoke a sense of nostalgia & are the perfect FriYAY start to the weekend!

New recipe for the fluffiest, most tender donuts ever. The secret ingredient is potatoes! Recipe from @ohsweetbasil fabulous new cookbook.

Happy Valentine's Day! I made us donuts. Baked cayenne chocolate donuts. They're sweet, spicy, and oh so chocolatey. (Buttermilk cayenne chocolate cake dipped in melted dark chocolate topped with chocolate jimmies, cinnamon, and cayenne)

Super soft sourdough doughnuts. With strawberry and apple pie cream. No words needed! Kicking Fat Thursday with style. Who would want to have one of these? Please share the recipe with your friends if you want them to surprise you with a batch of these goodies.

Less than a week to go until Fat Tuesday and I've got you covered with the BEST Paczki recipe!

This Thursday deserves a proper throwback. The moment is quickly approaching. The moment we start making homemade doughnuts again. Oh yes my friends, I am talking super delicious doughnuts with silky vanilla bean cream. These are soft like a pillow, incredibly full of flavor and literally the best doughnuts we've ever made (and trust me, we've made A LOT of doughnuts, since these guys were probably our biggest challenge) We've described the process as simple as we could so you won't have a problem making these in your kitchen. Do you make doughnuts at home, what's your favorite filling?

Weekend breakfast-ing like Who wants to join me?. Double chocolate donuts with chocolate glaze and all the yummy toppings - toasted coconut, mini chocolate chips, shaved dark chocolate, pistachios, almonds and flakey sea salt... Cause calories don't count on the weekend, amiright??
