Since Sexy Nerd had to work yesterday, while I got to lounge around the house, I thought it would be nice if he came home to some tasty doughnuts. I found the recipe here . Oooh, ingredients! The first step was to "scald" 1 cup of milk. I'm not sure that this actually made any difference whatsoever. Next, the butter. Yummy. Melt, darn you! Once the milk was thoroughly scalded, (pfft!) it was time to cool it down. Thank goodness for YouTube when waiting for your originally cold milk to cool back down. Go Britney! Beat some eggs. Sift some flour. Ooh, that falling flour is beautiful! It's a pity that the sifter is covered in water spots. Get everything mixed nicely. The original Recipezaar recipe resulted in dough that was much too sticky to work with. Adding additional flour fixed the problem. But how was I going to get these doughnuts to look doughnuty? Sexy Nerd & I don't have any cookie cutters. Seriously! Clever? Oh yes!
