Love doughnuts ...thanks for doing this Geoff you have broken it down simply for us num nums to follow !!! 1am can ' t sleep so watching some youtube .☆..happy easter ☆☆☆☆☆☆
Hi Henrietta, you are very welcome. I must've just missed your post, as I went to bed at 12.45 and read for an hour. Now I am up again at 5.45. Happy Easter to you too.
Brilliant Geoff you make things so easy to follow for us who want to try new things will admit tho not sure about your start up music liked/preferred your old one lol thank you again
Hi Gaza, thanks very much. I preferred the old music but when I changed computers I couldn't find that on RUclips's free music library. So I opted for the intro to the Toreador's song from Carmen. I may change it to Fur Elise for the next video.
Those donuts look amazing and I'm sure are very tasty. We have a nephew that does what we call pop-up sales and he goes to various locations that invite him and sells doughnuts with cereals etc on for $3.50 each! Truly. He fries his in an electric frying pan a dozen at a time and can maintain the heat with the thermostat on the fryer. If it cools down after a batch he will wait a min or 2 to fry next batch.
HI Raeshimmel. Thanks very much. It sounds like your nephew is a very enterprising young man. I would get an electric fryer too, if I was likely to use it more but I don't fry much food at all these days.
Hi Geoff, I just came across your doughnut recipe, and was wondering if you have tried Anna Olson’s Sour Cream Cake Doughnuts? They are very, very good! She and her Grandmother used to make them. I bet you would enjoy them. I sure do! Judith 😋😊
Hi Judith. I haven't seen the Anna Olsen recipe that you mention. I do watch a lot of Anna Olsen videos, I am a subscriber to her 'Oh Yum' channel. I wil certainly check the recipe if I can find it.
According to anthropologist Paul R. Mullins, the first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes. He also traces its origins to the oliekoek that arrived in America with the Dutch settlers in the early 18th century. By the mid-19th century, the doughnut looked and tasted like today's doughnut, and was viewed as a thoroughly American food
:D love doughnuts, who doesn't. Thanks for making this Geoff. I found a recipe for baked beingets that I want to try out. Old fashioneds and twists are the best :P
the big thing for me is we've always had issues raising dough in this house, and my parents don't like paying for all the oil to fry things so I have to bake them whenever possible.. Plus it is better for you.. not that that matters with things like these. Beignets are huge in the South, in Lousianna and Mississippi which is where I was born and partially raised, hence the flag. They are supposed to be really good, I haven't had them that I can remember, but the really are an iconic cajun treat. A lot of places pair them with chicory coffee.
They are very similar to doughnuts, it seems, except a different shape and not filled, though there is also a choux pastry variant. The oil I used for my doughtnuts has been strained and returned to the bottles for re-use later. If I ever try beignets the one certain thing is that I will not do so with coffee, chicory or otherwise, since I don't like it at all.
Fabulous recipes thank you

Very Interesting. The Dutch seem to have a hand in many types of baked items, thankfuly.

Hi J.A. I have never tried beignets, though I like the concept. Will have to think about making them at some time.

yeah it's really a thing that was made popular by Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, it's so famous they sell the batter online for next to nothing.
