Good morning! So the doughnut adventure has begun. I know for most of you this won't really help you out, but I was given this fun kitchen gadget by my mother-in-law from her stash, so I am going to play with it.
Have you ever heard of a doughnut maker? Well this sucker makes baked mini doughnuts (you can find some here, but they don't make this one anymore). We have been joking around about this machine ever since I plugged it in the first time to clean it...we refer to it as the "corn baller". Extra points for anyone who knows that reference...hint...it is a tv show that is sadly no longer on. It is a super hot cast iron piece of equipment. Now, I was given the machine with no booklet so I started to play with gluten free flours. I was given quinoa flour by my good friend, Nayoung (along with other fun flours I can't wait to play with) so I thought I would put it to use today.
I have always been a fan of cake doughnuts. You know, the kind that is not too sweet with a subtle nutmeg flavor. That's the one I wanted.
These are just what I was looking for, but I will definitely continue to play with them...you know in the name of science. All for you guys though..I will take one for the team.
The boys are heading back to school today after a long break so this is the perfect way to start the day for them.

I don't really love doughnuts, but these look so delicious. I think I need a doughnut maker!
