as a tribute to one of our most loyal taste testers…
lori, a coworker, is headed to napa with her husband to celebrate their 10th anniversary. she had high high hopes of getting a reservation at The French Laundry, but alas….no such luck. all is not lost, we have recreated one of their famous desserts “coffee and doughnuts” – minus the cappuccino semifreddo (sorry…we’re not that fancy yet) hopefully the cinnamon-sugar doughnuts will tide you over until your reservation dreams come true! happy anniversary lori and clay! enjoy your trip!
Words can not fully express my joy and excitement for this surprise! Thank you Lazy Bird girls for kicking off my anniversary trip to Napa in such a tasty way! The donuts are divine and I thank you both from the bottom of my heart! Thanks for going to so much trouble for me!! Love you both!!
Um…You post this pic, with no recipe? And will I need to invest in a fry daddy for such tasties?
heehee! sorry, it wasn’t an official recipe…just a freebie (but if you play your cards right i can hook you up with the recipe) you don’t need a fry daddy….i used my wok and a candy/deep frying thermometer on this one. it’s a little scary….but i walked away burn free.
this is the recipe that had me running all over town in search of “compressed fresh yeast”
