I feel much better today. Hands were itching to paint the kitchen red! Thought of making bread initially but I didn’t really have all the ingredients required. Mom suggested that I make donuts instead. I know I just made a large batch last weekend, but we didn’t really get to eat ’em since most were savored by the guests.
So I ended up making donuts with a few simple toppings. Nothing chocolaty though coz mom is not a chocolate fan. These turn out really good. Next time, am gonna make donuts with fillings. Like those rich and creamy fillings/toppings from munchy donuts!! Got to figure out how to go abt it though!
Sprinkled with sugar! Simple yet nice!
Glazed with strawberry Jam. I loved these!
Creamy Peanut Butter
Remember these?
Donuts On Sticks!
Back then, these were a favorite especially among kids. We used to pass by this confectionery in our neighborhood just to buy a stick of these 🙂
