Well, readers, I have good news and I have great news. The good news is that my new camera lens finally came!! The great news is that this means lots more blog posts!!
In order to celebrate my friend Kohleun and I decided to make Pumpkin-Almond doughtnuts based loosely off of a recipe found over at Canelle et Vanille. I am not going to post the recipe we made up because, well, because we made it up. I recommend you pop over to the professional's site linked above and do it her way. (Or your own.)

We began by roasting almonds then grinding them in a newly-cleaned coffee grinder. We added them to the dry ingredients and let me tell you, the aroma was fantastic.
After mixing and stirring and folding we rolled out the dough and began the actual doughnut part. Now because I'm still a poor college student I don't own any of the fancy molds and cut-outs that produce proper doughnuts. We used an up-ended mason jar and a spoon to create that stereotypical shape. Then the real fun began.

Now, I love fried food. The crispy skin on fried chicken is just about my favourite way of putting on the pounds. But frankly my dears, I don't like frying things myself. Since I also do not own a thermometer, frying is dangerous guessing game similar to Russian Roulette.
After a few super dark doughnuts and a few gooey centers, we managed to produce a batch of decent home-made doughnuts. All the roommates agree on their deliciousness, especially after they were dusted with powdered sugar. Although these are a sinful mouthful and not too complicated to make, I won't be doing it again any time soon.

Enjoy with a cup of coffee and the cable box. :-)
