Brown Butter Glazed Doughnuts with a Hazelnut Chocolate Crunch
Doughnuts are a food that brings me complete joy. I love making them, frying them and of course, eating them. A really good, simple glazed doughnut can’t be beaten. These brown butter glazed delights are so light, it’s difficult not to guzzle them all up at once. They look like little pillows. The hazelnut chocolate crunch adds that extra texture I sometimes miss with a glazed doughnut as well as some added nutty flavour. A real treat and a lovely baking project for a weekend.
Lemon Poppyseed Crullers
Sometimes all you need is a fresh doughnut, but sometimes you just don’t have the time or patience to make them. There’s making the dough, leaving it to rise, rolling, cutting and then leaving them to prove again. Here’s where the Cruller comes in: choux paste that’s fried to a deep golden before being dunked in a thin lemony glaze. Top with a sprinkling of poppyseeds and fresh lemon zest and they’re irresistible.
