Donuts Ahoy!

Best three donut holes

mmm fluffy...

Mum generously gifted me her Russell Hobbs deep fryer (circa 1975). I love my Mum's kitchen gadgets; older appliances seem a lot sturdier than modern ones. Plus, I am reminded of my childhood whenever I use it.

The Chip Connoisseur (Mr W) was obviously delighted at the introduction of the deep fryer. But I managed to convince him to cook donuts with me instead. Yeah, that was hard ... not! I love having W in the kitchen with me. Usually he's happy to steer clear and leave me be, but tonight he's happily setting timers, holding thermometers and ...... standing by with the fire extinguisher. Sigh.

This is The Recipe. Thank you again Mr Gary Mehigan. I must get your cookbook, all your recipes really hit the spot. Your donut squeezing technique produced a much nicer and rounder product compared to the chicken nuggets shapes from the spoon technique.
