I may or may not have been seduced by donuts. I may or may not be working on a secret donut project.
Rumors aside - I have made several batches of delicious old timey donuts since my birthday. I fry up as many as I can and then literally force them on people to get them OUT of my house. No leftover donuts for me, no donut snacking.
The fried dough above is a cider donut, its made with a reduction of apple cider (alcoholic), molasses and apple sauce. Its lightly sweet and oh so tender and tasty. The caramel on the top is an apple cider caramel and it has a touch of fruitiness. The handsome chaps are my birthday donut testers, and my dog.
More donuts have been devised, all of them eaten, none of them photographed. The truth is, I need a photographer to come around and hang out with me while I make these things, I cannot safely handle a camera while frying donuts, its just not right.
These go great with this:
Doughnuts! Oh, Doughnuts!

Doughnuts! Oh, doughnuts! Fried circles of yum.
You food that I simply adore.
You’re sure not nutritious, but you’re so delicious
I’m always left wishing for more.
I love you with frosting or covered in sprinkles.
I swoon for you, sweet, sugar raised!
When you’re filled with jelly, you warm up my belly...
While still leaving room for a glazed.
I’ll dip you in coffee or dunk you in milk.
I’ll eat you for breakfast or brunch.
I get so impassioned for simple old-fashioned
That sometimes I make them my lunch.
Doughnuts! Oh, doughnuts! Definers of yum.
You perfect fried circles of dough.
Although you’re caloric, you leave me euphoric...
So give me a dozen to go!
