The Do-nuts!

The Do-nuts!

Donuts aren't just for cops.  

 

I do the American thing often — grab a donut with a coffee. Sometimes it's a pillowy glazed donut; other times, it's a custardy chocolate eclair or maybe an old-fashioned buttermilk glazed bar. It's crazy how a deep-fried piece of dough or cake batter creates a new taste. Now gather, I get a basic cup of coffee and add half and half — That's just my preference. Consider this: take that sugary pastry goodness and dip it into a chocolatey mocha, a vanilla cappuccino, or even an iced coffee with milk. Deliciousness elevated.

As a kid, I visited the donut shop with my grandpa or mom during summer vacations. We would go at 3 AM or 5 AM to get that pink box of freshly baked goodness, a bag of donut holes, and for me, a chilled container of chocolate milk. These treats would give us a sugar rush and then the expected crash.

It takes a bit to perfect the right donut recipe as a chef. But out of habit, I find myself at Bob's Donuts late at night! Sometimes I just want to hit that nostalgic button, enjoy the night, and not have to clean up my kitchen. Go figure! 

 

What's your favorite flavor? How do you take your coffee? I love to dunk my donut in my coffee. Somehow the donut and coffee are a perfect match. How do you keep the donut tradition alive? I'd love to hear about your nostalgic donut moments.
