Delicious Baked Glazed Doughnuts
Comi-Con at the library.
A party game for horrible people!
July is only a day away and I just can not believe how fast the summer is going. The past few weeks have been eventful, and so is the week to come. At work I helped with a mini Comic-Con at one of the library branches (“selfie” to the right), story times, TAB/Teen Night, and held an impromptu Kids in the Kitchen program. Duane and I had a few barbeques, spent a relaxing Sunday by the pool with friends playing Cards Against Humanity (can’t get enough of this game!), while eating these delicious Baked Glazed Doughnuts, and, we are on our way to New York on Wednesday.
Double boiler method
\Without planning, I made 2 dozen of these amazing baked glazed doughnuts over the course of 3 days. I was off Friday so I made a dozen; with the intention of bringing 2 to my friends at their yard sale, then a few for my co-workers, and of course have a few for at home. The next morning, wanting to leave ample time to stop at the yard sale I grabbed all 11. (C’mon a full dozen wasn’t going to make it out of the house). When I opened the container at the yard sale a neighbor came across and asked if I was selling the doughnuts. Caught completely off guard, and it still being “early”, I responded “no”. The neighbor then offered to buy one and still unsure of the proper answer, said “OK”. Looking back, I should have given him a doughnut, but it was morning and I was still not thinking clearly. What was funny was that he suggested going around to different yard sales on the weekend selling doughnuts. I would never do it, but it was a funny picture in my head. So anyway, I brought the remaining seven breakfast treats to work. At 3 o’clock I went in to the break room and there was one left. Knowing I would want it later, I wrapped it up and hid it. Pitiful I know. They were so good. Saturday night I decided to make another dozen to bring over to our friends house on Sunday. We brought over 11 (different scenario, I dropped one this time) and came home with 2.5, and as of now there is 1 remaining for me in the morning. 24 doughnuts 72 hours. Gone.
They are that delicious!
