I ought to have a donut category. Or maybe one for dough and/or pastry. Not having one seems wrong. A few days ago I stopped in at Daylight Donuts and bought two dozen donuts. Have you bought two dozen donuts lately? The lady at the register gave me a few coins back from the twenty I handed her. That pricey.
One dozen was for work, to treat the lovely ladies and one man with whom I spend too many hours a week /month/year. And the other dozen was for home. Of the batch for home, the cinnamon twists were very good. And the filled donuts, despite not being covered with powdered sugar, were excellent. That is, the cream filled one that I ate was. I saved the black raspberry filled for Ian. That cream filled one was outstanding, really. The cream wasn't runny or goopy or reflecting a high sheen. It was perfect. They fill them as you select them. That's always a plus.
Basically this post is an excuse to share my donut porn with you. Aaaaaah, donuts. These buttermilk donuts are my favorite. They are moist and sweet and have that crunchy glazed outside and a tender inside. The next dozen will be all buttermilk. If they have them. You see, they run out easily. And they close shop up by noon. They operate on the model of scarcity, and I don't like that one bit.
Damn girl! You are playing to all my addictions today... I was thrilled to see this doughnut post - and then I saw the next one is about Ridgewood???
Seriously, how much food porn do you think my poor weak self can bear? Too much goodness!
