Drop Donuts with Cherry Compote

May 6, 2022

There are loads of events and holidays throughout the year where you need deep-fried sweet stuff. Carnival or New Year’s Eve, for example. There is no way around it. It doesn’t matter what you throw into the hot oil as long as the result is nice and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and it’s covered with sugar. I do not encourage people to drink alcohol, but if you eat greasy stuff like that you can drink more ;P Well… these Drop Donuts with Cherry Compote have not been made for those situations. They are just a delicious snack you can enjoy all year round any time of the day (with or without alcohol) ;P

New Year’s Eve Donuts aka. Berliner Pfannkuchen

December 28, 2021

Another year comes to an end. Somehow I had the feeling that this year passed by much faster than usual. I know that the older you get, the faster the years go by, at least it feels that way, but this year was a bit different. Because of COVID and all the time spent at home, it sometimes seems to me as if the previous pandemic-free years are already far in the past and we’re jetted through 2021 with turbo engines. Oh well. Everything will be better next year. Isn’t that what they say? This should be celebrated properly, with these delicious New Year’s Eve Donuts aka. Berliner Pfannkuchen – that’s what we call it here ;)

How to make (perfect) Homemade Donuts

November 7, 2021

I guess everyone likes donuts. There are only a few people not liking them, right? Of course only if they are done well ;P If those little fried thingies are unfluffy (means too dense/firm) and/or dripping with fat or drenched with a sugar glaze – I’m out. So I guess I like donuts but not all of them ;P I actually prefer homemade donuts. Admittedly, they’re a little time-consuming when you make them at home, but this way you’ll make sure that you always get super fresh and delicious donuts on your plate and into your belly. Just kidding! The final destination of donuts is, of course, not the belly, but the hips! ;P

Baked Apple Cider Donuts

October 15, 2021

Donut fans, please step forward. I got a big batch of Baked Apple Cider Donuts fresh from the oven today. Delicious little cake donuts coated with a sweet layer of sugar and cinnamon. If I did not have to keep an eye on my blood sugar I would make these donuts every week and eat them all at once. Alone. That’s how delicious these fellas are ;P

Trash Can Chocolate Donuts

May 4, 2020

“May the Force be with you!” That should have been the motto today. You probably already know it – May, the 4th is the “official” Star Wars Day and everything revolves around the well-known space saga. I’m a fan of the movies and wanted to celebrate with a little something from the oven, but then the planned “Chewbacca Donuts” suddenly turned into “Trash Can Chocolate Donuts”… I don’t know exactly how that happened. Really! ;P
