I have been on a quest for the perfect homemade doughnut hole for us. Koda Bear thinks that doughnut holes are the best thing in the world. I would like to have a go to recipe so we do not have to go out. A go to recipe for when the doughnut shop we like is closed.
There is another bit. I am becoming more and more of a hermit and most doughnut shops do not have good tea. Homemade means I can have an excellent cup of tea and not have to deal with people on the rode or interestingly strange people in the shop. I am the anti-social hermit though so those people may be just fine.
These doughnut holes are sourdough and half whole wheat. Which is why they are so dark. I adapted Paul Hollywood's recipe I had found. It was a simple dough and were good but not what we were looking for. But be aware, that even though they were not right, they did not last two days.
I think I need more of a brioche type dough. Heavy on the butter and eggs. My favorite doughnuts taste like brioche. I also want to try a potato doughnut.
I am getting better with frying too. I am thinking I might tackle fish and chips soon. It may mean one more reason not to go out.
