I’ve always wanted to try to make doughnuts from scratch for brunch. I ran across this recipe on the King Arthur Flour website.
I still had the stupid chocolate ganache left over from superbowl and I’m always looking for recipes to use it up. This was the perfect opportunity to stuff them into the doughnuts! I also made a strawberry sauce by cooking up strawberries and maple syrup. I made several varieties – I dusted some holes with powdered sugar, some with cinnamon sugar, filled some with chocolate ganache, and left some plain. I think the cinnamon sugar ones were the best. Dipping them in the strawberry sauce was also very yummy.
Verdict? It’s definitely NOT something I’d eat everyday. Despite the fact they were pretty heavy since they’re fried, it was still delicious. I just have to remember not to make them too large or the middle won’t cook completely. Having them with coffee definitely help cut through the oily-ness.
