I thought that next week was Fat Tuesday...until last evening. I didn't expect we would get to our donut making today since some neighbors were to be coming over after lunch for a little while. But they cancelled, and the kids pleaded for donuts. So donuts we made!
Note: They actually helped this year!
Again we used my great-grandmother's donut recipe. And I feel a little like a traitor for saying this, but I think next year we're going to have to try another recipe. Maybe I'm making them wrong, or maybe it's just the way these donuts are meant to be. But we're finding them too dense and flat.
I made some apple-cake donuts a few years ago that were less dense, and they were cake donuts! So we're either going to have to revise the recipe or get a new one.
But here's the fun from today...in pictures, of course!

NO, she wasn't eating a donut. And she didn't help
make them either. But I couldn't put up a post
without including a picture of her. *wink* |
