Rhubarb (Curd) Crumble Donuts

I’ve been eating less cake and sweet stuff for a few years now. I know it’s hard to imagine when the person saying this is running a baking blog for cakes and sweets, but it’s true! Most of the time I am not getting tempted anymore by the sweets at a bakery, for example, but when it comes to donuts…?! My brain seems to fall back to old habits and demands sugar and fat. These delicious Rhubarb (Curd) Crumble Donuts are no exception here. They were pretty much inhaled right after the photo shoot ;P

Easy Boston Cream Donuts

Donuts No Reply

Donuts are nice – you can’t deny that. Airy, fluffy, sweet, and greasy… the perfect combination for a sweet snack, right? If only making them at home could work without frying and those smells in the kitchen. For this reason, we don’t make delicious Boston Cream Donuts like these here not that often at home. Only for special occasions once in every blue moon. Or maybe I should get a proper deep-fryer you can seal off completely? ;)

Drop Donuts with Cherry Compote

Desserts, Donuts, Sweet Snacks No Reply

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

How to make (perfect) Homemade Donuts

Donuts No Reply

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
