Today is Memorial Day. My family doesn't talk about wars much, or their participation in them. My two uncles served in the military. That much I know, but not much more.
On this day that we honor and recognize those who have passed away while serving our country during war, I recognize my uncle who gave himself to the country, and thankfully, came back. My uncle always took me to get donuts at the best place in Colorado (at least in my family's opinion). So today I made donuts. I've been planning on making them, but today was the perfect day. Decided on strawberry frosting, the flavor I would always get with my Aunt and Uncle, and chocolate with sprinkles. Because really, if you make donuts,why would you not make donuts with chocolate glaze and sprinkles?
Donut Recipe: Joy the Baker
On Donuts:
Chocolate Glaze: Alton Brown, halved (addition of 1 Tbs dutch cocoa). Note to others - really do wait 30 minutes before glazing donuts. It's a bit drippy if you forget this step like I did.
Rainbow Sprinkles.
Strawberry Glaze: 1 CUP powdered sugar, 1 TBS strawberry preserves, 1 TBS whole milk. Stir till well combined, breaking up strawberry bits as well as you can. (while searching for glaze recipes, which was a little un-fruitful, I found this scone recipe. Yum! I think this is next)
On Donut Holes:
Sugar
Sugar with cinnamon and cocoa powder (un-measured quantities)
