Cupcakes and Cashmere

Classic Doughnuts

August 11th, 2010

When it comes to dessert, I’m really not picky. Sure, I have my favorites (they’re starred on this page), but it’s rare that I’ll ever turn down an opportunity to have something sweet. Doughnuts have never been a top contender among cookies and cupcakes, but on the rare occasion that I’m craving one with a cup of coffee, there’s nothing better. Ever since I mastered the art of frying (with these and these), I’ve been wanting to try my hand at classic doughnuts with a chocolate glaze. I’ll admit that they took an entire afternoon, but even with the threat of scalding oil, annoyingly sticky dough and the fact that my apartment still smells of grease, they were truly fantastic.

It’s 10 a.m. and I just grabbed a handful of mini milky ways and made a cup of hot cocoa. Just looking at those photos was enough to spawn a chocolate craving.
I’ve wanted to try my hand at doughnuts for years now, but can’t seem to commit the time. Now that you’ve lended some inspiration, maybe I’ll give it a shot!

I saw on your twitter that they were posing a great challenge to you yesterday, so I’m glad everything went well. It’s so funny because I just got back from brunch with my mom and Devon and Lisi commented on my blog that between my post (from yesterday) and your post this morning, she is in serious need of some doughnuts! So I had an inkling as to what you’d cooked up. Delish:)

omg. i don’t think you read ltj, but i posted a couple of weeks back about how donuts were literally everywhere – in my face – all the time. so i had some donut holes that were just ok – kind of fake tasting – so my donut craving has yet to subside. this just made it a little worse. homemade donuts? i thought i was doing good to make waffles with my new stupid-proof waffle maker. i’m impressed. and craving a donut. and on weight watchers. so up a creek without a paddle some may say. good job!
