What could be more fun than making something delicious in the kitchen with your child and then being able to eat it yourself? Actually, not too long ago, my daughter discovered that donuts are a tasty snack. Very carefully she just started with the normal version and now slowly she wants to taste a different flavor every time. You know them from those shop windows full of colors and donuts in every flavor imaginable. It always looks super happy, let's say instant happiness.
I know that donuts are not the healthiest snack because there is a lot of sugar in the dough and also in the icing that goes on top. But I think that you can eat something tasty every now and then, as long as you eat healthy and varied. Jools loves donuts and she was very happy when she got a special device for making donuts for her birthday. The device belongs to our friend Luuk, who, like us, is a real foodie. He loves cooking and baking and he always knows how to find the best recipes. Jools immediately tried the device and she made delicious sugared donuts. They were so tasty that we quickly ate them all. I'm proud of Jools for being so good at baking and I like that she enjoys making donuts.
Homemade sugared donuts
If you think “eureka” there was one chef who invented the donut, you will be disappointed. There are several stories of people who claim to have invented the donut. The earliest description is in an English cookbook from around 1803. But there are also good stories that it is derived from the traditional Dutch oliebol. Both the English and the Dutch went to America around the same time and settled there, so well, we will never know for sure…
If you don't have a donut machine, you can also bake them in donut molds in the oven. You can order it online or buy it in a bakery.
