Deep Fried Love.

Have you ever just gotten a hankering for something?

For example, when we were in Italy a couple of months ago, I could not stop craving McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. The thing is, I don’t really even like McNuggets. I don’t even like fast food in general. But oh, how I wanted them. We’d be walking around Rome, and there would be the signs…McDonalds – 500 meters. McDonalds – Pantheon. McDonalds – Spanish Steps. And yet I refused them.

But this weekend, I wanted Doughnuts. Just your typical glazed doughnut, nothing too fancy. I love big fluffy, yeasty doughnuts, covered in a warm, sugary glaze. I love the sticky fingers and the need to lick them. Nothing better than a nice, hot doughnut. The last gooey ones I had were in Tennessee, at the Krispy Kreme Drive Through. Oh, they were good.

So I sent out a tweet. Who has a no fail recipe?

@twopeasandapod (Two Peas and Their Pod) shouted out that Joy the Baker had a recipe. So I headed over to check it out. Looked pretty good! In the meantime, I had found a couple of recipes online, so I decided to kind of meld them all together…and the results are delicious! I still want to play around with the recipe a bit, so bear with me. I want to make sure it is perfect before I share!

In the meantime, here are some photos to get you mouth watering!
