So, among other things, I've become a baker in the past year living in India...craving things from America that I could just go to the grocery store and buy. Well, as you probably could've guessed, they don't have Kroger or Krispy Kreme or really amazing bakeries here in India. I've limited my cravings since they're not the healthiest :) But for Valentine's Day, I decided to try something new.
Donuts.
I know. Why would you ever try to make homemade donuts. That just sounds gross. Well, let me tell you, they were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Why? Because I trust PioneerWoman.com. She's the man, I mean woman. I know that any/all of her recipes will taste incredible.

Don't know if you can see it, but I had to put a bowl of hot water below the donuts and stick em in the oven so they'd rise. It's still not warm enough here in India for bread to rise.
I know, so healthy, right?...
Just adding more nutrition :)
Our new househelper, Susma...she was a little skeptical (b/c most indians don't like sweets) but she said, "Bahoot Acha" (very good!)
Victoria's first reaction was, "They are seriously better than Krispy Kreme!" Wow, I think that's the nicest compliment anyone's ever given me :)
When it comes to sweet, a good friend once told me, "Just drink a lot of water." Even if the water doesn't necessarily make up for those amazing donuts...it made me feel a little better, right? Haha! Needless to say, I drank A LOT of water yesterday :)
YUMMY! You are amazing. And yes, Pioneer Woman rocks! Did I give you her cookbook for Christmas 2009? I think Becca has one. I will order you one if you don't have it.
ReplyDeleteOh, how much I need to hug you... my daughter of another mother! Can't wait to have you home.
Aunt B
Hmm... we might need to add some donuts to our Xmas Morning Brunch for Dinner repast when you come Stateside, Meggers. =D
ReplyDeleteOh I love Pioneer Woman!!! Those look really good and glad that you've tried it. Baking sweets in India was always fun for me as I realized that I like it way better than cooking, lol!
ReplyDeleteAunt B! I don't have her cook book! But I would love it, she's literally my favorite cook! Can't wait to see you, too!
ReplyDeleteCuz, we will DEF add that to our brunch! duh! they are easy cheesy and soooo delicious!
Ping! I'm so glad we share the love of pioneer woman, she's the jolliest! Sweet are always more fun! I think me and Victoria are gonna make cinnamon rolls soon and use your cream cheese! woot woot!
