Mmmm.....donuts!

Hey look!! I made donuts. Geoff came home the other night from grocery shopping. Guess what he brought home? Yep, Crispy Creme donuts. So unfair. They looked soo yummy, especially the creme filled and custard filled ones with their sticky goodness and plump......oh, sorry for salivating on this post. A few weeks prior, he bought some buttermilk so I can make a buttermilk donut recipe. Of course I had not made them yet and the buttermilk only had a few days left until it expired. Geoff kept asking me when I was going to make them so the milk wasn't a waste.

When he came home with the Crispy Creme donuts, I asked him if this was his way of getting me to make my donuts. He started responding by saying no, to which I quickly interrupted to tell him that he needed to say "Yes, of course that was my plan all along". I didn't want to hear a "No". I really needed any enticement to get off my behind and make them.

The next morning, as everyone was eating their donuts, I caved and somehow got a sudden burst of energy to make some donuts. If found the recipe at www.food.com. They were actually not too hard to make. The donuts were not too bad either. Next time I make donuts though, I will try to pay a bit more attention to the oil because I think it was too hot and so the insides of the donuts were a tad undercooked. If you like cake-type donuts than these are yummy. I do like cake donuts but I really like the yummy plump raised type donuts better. My next donut recipe will be more of the other....at least I hope.

Now I can say that I have made donuts before. There is a first for everything, right? Have you ever made donuts before? How did they turn out?
