On Saturday morning (well, it was late midmorning by the time they got frying because the dough had to chill two hours) I made some cake donuts. I've never made donuts before, but they turned out very deliciously, and as the title of this post implies I took some pictures. First, the baby ones:
- I made Hannah a little mini round donut, but it was too hot,
- And by the time I got back with my iPad it had vanished inexplicably, leaving no trace but perhaps some crumbs. Hannah was back for more.
- I made a little ball shaped donut with the scraps left from my last rolling, and Hannah fastened right onto it.
- She played peekaboo with it while it was too warm, as she had a plate and plastic bowl. She would hide the donut under the bowl and say, “Where donut go?”, at which it was my job to say, “I don't know, where did the donut go?”, at which she would of course triumphantly raise the bowl and show the whereabouts of the donut. It was really cute.
In addition to catering to my baby sister, I made:
A. Little heart donuts made with the help of some cookie cutters (this worked remarkably well)
B. Really tiny donuts made with mini cookie cutters shaped like flowers, circles, and shells.
C. A round donut with a shell-shaped hole in the middle courtesy of the same mini cookie cutter as the shell mini donuts.
D. A folded over 'donut pasty' with jam inside
E. And of course, regular round donuts.
Maybe not the absolute prettiest of donuts, but they tasted really good.
