10 golden fresh donuts for new fixed gear riders

Taste off...hippy to decide.

now that's an oxymoron

Ahh, remember back in the day when we were talking about important donuts like always wearing shorts over your lycra. It's easy to turn a jaundiced eye toward this thread's humble beginnings. I remember it, however, as being ugly but not without its charms. Like the 90s. Or Land Cruisers.

My Mother had one of these, it was 24volt, not very interesting in itself, but out of the ordinary none the less.

And the bike without foot retention seems to have a coaster brake.

were at the Vic Market. Since 1950 it seems.
They were good, really good, straight out of the fryer and into a bag, where you would burn your fingers and mouth in greed anticipation.

When my kids were little I thought it would be a nice treat to take them to Greenwich Market, back when it sprawled across about three sites. In the entrance to the bit on Stockwell Street, there was a doughnut stall, and to compensate the kids for having had the misery of standing around at second hand vinyl stalls when they were (a) too short to see what was on sale and (b) not remotely interested in obscure ShimmyDisc recordings, I bought them a bag of doughnuts. Or things that looked vaguely like doughnuts but tasted as though they'd been cooked, slowly and several hours previously, in oil that had been used for frying cod and then cold-filtered through a tramp's armpit hair. But that was before this whole fixie craze started.

Ah, that was probably falafel

hah intense #rep.

oooo, not too far away from the Civic Center. On my list of places to nom in SF now, happily accept other recommendations as well.

I always buy a box of timbits at the airport on my way back from Canadaland.

this should be renamed to "the doughnut thread" and migrated to misc and meaningless.
also the first thing i told my Mum about a girl i liked when i was 5 was "she gave me a doughnut so i love her".

i will still marry any woman that presents me with doughnuts and doesnt expect me to share.

About 10 years ago, 4 of us fresh faced Aussies were taking a trip to Cornwall for Easter. Relatively fresh off the boat, we were not accustomed to this chain of donutters called Krispy Kreme, but we had heard the stories.

At Waterloo, we picked up 2 dozen for our rent-a-car trip. Too easy.
As I get quite bad carsickness, I sat in the front. The boxes sat in the back, in the middle seat.

Throughout the journey, we chatted, sang and munched our way through the boxes.
I think the driver had 2, I had 3, another guy had about 5.

Our hero in the story, ate the rest.

OP is a donut...

So the doughnuts I mad at the weekend were an abject failure.

The dough was far too wet, they were slightly overproved, and the oil was way too hot.

tl;dr they were raw in the middle.

I used this recipe, which I expected to be bang on, but, as later googling discovered, must have been transcribed incorrectly.

Next time - dryer dough, less proving, lower heat

they looked good, snaps for the efforts!

:-(

The best thing about the original post is that all his favorite donots are listed as number 1.

Best thread since the taxi video. would read again.

brought tears to my eyes, the prices, the "FX" and the FAQ:

Are the doughnuts gluten free?

I just went to a place near my house that is semi famous. One of those 100 years old type of places. It looked like any of the other small bakeries in town except there was a line out the door. I walked out with like 6 of these

I have eaten 1.5 I do not think I can have any more right now but they are so good. Sweet on the outside with the not too sweet booze custard on the inside.

Stjohns' was lovely.
