doughnuts!


A quick break from the "church" side to look at the "homemaking" side: I made doughnuts for the first time ever!

I used this recipe and oh-my-goodness, I was swearing as soon as the first doughnut hole touched my tongue that I would never ever again no not ever buy doughnuts from the store. No, this was the doughnut itself, the very form of doughnut, and I couldn't settle for anything inferior.

Well, that lasted till they cooled off, because a cold homemade doughnut is not as good as a cold storebought doughnut.

But if you eat them while they're hot . . . oh my goodness. Bliss in a not-baked good.

And deep-frying was not as tricky as I thought it would be. I think this is mostly because I had the sense to attempt it while the twins were asleep. :D

peace of Christ to you,

Wow, those look great! My kids were asking recently about how to make donuts... I think we'll have to give it a go.

We make doughnuts once a year. Potato doughnuts. Wonderful! We do it for Mardi Gras. :-)
