I'm always looking for an excuse to make donuts. I love donuts and I think they're highly underrated. I want to really experiment with donuts and make some fun ones.
So I'm planning a donut tasting party. I want to come up with several different recipes to try out on people. So here's what I'm thinking of:
- Vanilla Donuts - I'm going to use the family recipe from Grandma Fern
- Raspberry Donuts - Same recipe as above, but using raspberry glaze
- Pistachio Spice - One of my favorite aspects of donuts is that bread-y, cinnamon, goodness. This recipe will combine middle-eastern spices with pistachios in a cake donut.
- Chocolate Banana Cream - I love chocolate and banana together. For this, I'll make a banana cream to inject in the center of the donut and put chocolate glaze on the outside.
- Tangerine Filled - I wanted to do one curd-filled recipe. I keep waffling between tangerine and grapefruit. For this, I was going to use a brioche dough for the donut.
- Strawberry Filled - Same recipe as above, but using a jam. Strawberry is the classic filling. Maybe I'll use blackberry instead since I think it's an under-rated flavor.
- Chocolate Cake - I think I need another cake donut, and I'm missing some chocolate. Maybe I'll make it Mexican chocolate for fun.
