I will completely, willingly, make myself sick, wheat belly and all, for a fresh apple fritter - I blame my father. I have great memories of stopping at our local doughnut shop in Dana Point and each of us getting our favorite doughnuts before heading off to the boat, or whatever else we were up to that day. Sometimes they would have just finished a new batch and the apples would still be so hot they could burn the roof of your mouth...but it was worth it!
Lately I have had this unreal, single minded attention to doughnuts. No idea why, I shouldn't be eating a lot of sweet treats but sometimes they just call to you! Or mock you from the store front, or laugh at you in the isles of Target...jerks.
Today, I finally caved and went researcher crazy to find some good gluten free recipes to try...I may be eating doughnuts and popcorn for dinner tonight, but we'll cross that bridge later. I found two recipes that look very promising, one for Apple Fritters and one for a sour cream Old-Fashioned...yummy.
Now I'm not crazy enough to try both of them tonight, though I want to, the cost of the oil alone would be prohibitive. However, you best believe that I will be uploading pictures of hopefully delicious doughnuts in about two and a half hours!
I just have to figure out how to go grocery shopping, walk the dogs, make the doughnuts and eat the doughnuts without burning my fingers and mouth from impatience...well, maybe it will be worth it!
