The Doughnuts and Friends Show



A recent deep fry party provided the perfect opportunity to debut homemade doughnuts. Doughnuts (or Olde Tymey Doff-Ghnouts, as we've created) aren't the kind of things you just stumble home drunk one night and fall into. It's the sort of thing you plan well in advance to get drunk and do. Believe it or not, this was our first attempt at doughnuts, and they came out pretty f'ing great. The key is the oil temp (375) and not over-mixing the batter. Other than that it's just a matter of getting the batter off your fingers and into the oil in a usable shape, which you can practice time after delicious time.

Props to Amy on the title sequence. And the Communist Party t-shirt. Next up: theme song. Reader submissions will promptly be thrown away. This post is kind of a complete shit show, I think half the video is me looking for baking soda. Spoiler alert: I found it. I'm going to put a poll up later to see who enjoyed the glamor shot of me eating raw doughnut batter off of my fingers.
