Delightful Donuts & Cupcakes stops by to make glazed doughnuts
video

Donut Recipe: ·▢ 1 ⅛ cup whole milk - warm ·▢ ¼ cup sugar ·▢ 2 ¼ teaspoons Instant Or Active Dry Yeast (one package) ·▢ 2 whole large eggs lightly beaten ·▢ 1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter, a total of 10 tablespoons Instructions To make the dough: 1. Warm the milk until it is getting nice and warm when you dip your finger in it (about 105 degrees). Add the milk to a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the yeast and stir to combine. Let the yeast rest for 5 minutes. 2. Add the beaten eggs and melted butter to the bowl and stir to combine. 3. While the mixer is running slowly, add the flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Mix for a whole five minutes to work the dough well. Turn off the bowl and let the dough sit in the bowl of the mixer for 10 minutes. 4. After the rest period turn the dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, but up to overnight. The goal is to get the dough cold enough to work with easily and have the butter solidify. To form the donuts: 1. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is ½ to ⅓ of an inch thick. Use a three-inch donut cutter to cut out the donuts. 2. Place the cut donuts and holes on a lightly greased baking sheet. 3. Repeat with the remaining dough. 4. Cover the donuts and let them rise until doubled in size, about one hour. The donuts will be very puffy and airy looking. To fry the donuts: 1. Heat a few inches of oil or shortening in a large cast iron skillet or fryer over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 to 375 degrees (use a thermometer!). Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 ½ minutes per side. The donut holes will only take about 30 seconds per side. 2. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel lined baking sheet to remove extra grease. Let them cool slightly. Dip the hot donuts in the glaze (I like to flip on both sides so it's fully covered) and enjoy right away. Glaze Recipe: ·▢ 4 cups powdered sugar ·▢ 2 tablespoons light corn syrup ·▢ 1 tablespoon honey ·▢ 1 teaspoon clear vanilla ·▢ 3 tablespoons hot water 1. Mix all ingredients in stand mixer at medium speed until no lumps remain. Make before you fry your donuts to poor over hot fried donuts

Annabel’s & Co. Catering Making: ROASTED SQUASH (Acorn, Butternut or Pumkin) WITH TOASTED QUINOA, DATES & FRESH SAGE Ingredients 2-3 lb SQUASH (Acorn, Butternut or Pumkin) Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper 2 c quinoa 3 c water or broth 2 c pitted and julienned medjool dates 1/4 c small, torn sage leaves Olive oil for drizzling over squash 1 to 2 T balsamic vinegar or maple vinegar 1/3 c green pumpkin seeds 1/4 c pomegranate arils Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Cut your pumpkin or squash into pieces roughly 3″ square and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the pumpkin for 1 hour or until soft. Once the pieces are cool, you may choose to peel off the skin. I did not, because red kuri’s skin is not tough. Place pumpkin in bowl. In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the quinoa. Toast for 5-10 minutes or until it smells toasty. Add 3 c water or broth and 1 T kosher salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer the quinoa for 25 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, covered for a few minutes. Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the bowl with the pumpkin or squash, along with the dates and sage and 1/4 c olive oil. Toss gently to combine and season heartily with salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with pomegranate arils and pumpkin seeds before serving. I like this served warm or at room temperature.
