Whaaa. I bought a doughnut pan, made a few doughnuts and forgot to post. Pfft. 🙂 I mislabeled the pictures and they were sitting away in a folder when I happened to see them today.

Now I wish I had a few donuts to munch on right now.

Its Friday! And its so cold out here already.Hello summer gods. Please feel free to tell me if you are bored of all the weather talk. We Seattle-lites are obsessed with it:)

Eat me! What are your fave doughnuts!

I couldnt eat too many doughnuts ever. They always gave me a toothache because of the super sweet glaze. The only donuts I like are from Mighty-O. So now the ones I bake up at home are just about lightly sweet which can be eaten with or without the glaze. These doughnuts are baked, and cake style. The next batch will be yeasty, but since I donated my deep fryer earlier this year, everything gets baked.

I can hear mom telling me that I can still fry in a pan/kadhai and that she will want pakoras when she visits. Darn, Right now, in the middle of the night, while writing about doughnuts, I actually want some deep fried Kachori. uh! salt trumps again.

Puree the strawberries into a smooth puree and take 1/4 cup puree. Add a little beet and puree for a deeper color. I have used strawberry raspberry puree for a batch of doughnuts too. The raspberry gives it a gritty texture though.

I’d love to make these with some blueberries, with a blueberry glaze, the color will be awesome!

Add dry ingredients and mix into a thick-ish batter.

Pour into doughnut pan. I used a spoon as you can tell(me=lazy). Doughnuts will be eaten in whichever shape:)

Bake until done. Cool slightly and dip in warm ganache. Take pictures before someone eats them all.
