Over the weekend I went down to Old Town Pasadena and found myself in Le Sur Table- a store that can be called a cooking enthusiasts second heaven. There was everything you could ever want or need for your kitchen. Pots, pans, cutting boards, molds, spoons, forks, knives...........everything!!! I went a little crazy and bought everything I needed for my kitchen and somethings I didn't need. Its been on my "to get" list for a while to get a new cutting board that I can use especially for my fruits and vegtables. To help prevent cross contamination between your meat and produce, you should use seperate cutting boards. Then I went spoon crazy. I had to get the classic wooden spoons that reminded me of when my mom used to cook and give me a taste in her big wooden spoon. I then bought special pans to make mini donuts and an icecream/ yogurt machine. By the time I was done shopping I had two very large bags to walk back to my car that was parked about 4 blocks away in a parking garage. Yes, my hands were full. When I finally got home I showed everything I bought to my daughter and we immediately started cooking the donuts. It was quality time with he and she loves donuts- so she was happy. Here is the recipe for you to have some fun with your kids at home.
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour- sifted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 tablespoon butter- melted
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add buttermilk, egg, and butter and stir until just combined. Fill each donlut cup approximately 1/2 full. Bake 4-6 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Let cool in pan for 4-5 minutes before removing. Finish the donuts with glaze or sprinkles. Makes 24 mini-donuts.
