Every year, my MIL and I get together to make doughnuts. I can make the dough, cut the doughnuts out, etc. with no problems. But man, I do not like deep-fat frying at all. The whole thing scares me with all that hot oil.
So for many years now, my MIL makes the dough and has it ready when I get to her house on Saturday morning. I'll roll out the dough and cut the doughnuts. While they're rising, we'll work on something for lunch (she told me that she wants to try a new bean recipe for lunch, so I'm making a salad to go with that). Then I fry the doughnuts while she sits in the living room reading the newspaper. She knows I don't like to do that and she knows that I'm very leery of hot oil. So it became job, simply because I'm so wary around the oil.
And she says that when she's not around anymore, somebody has to keep up with these traditions. And that person is going to have to be me. Years from now, I'll have some fond memories of making doughnuts with my wonderful MIL.
No doughnut from Dunkin Donuts or any place else, for that matter, can compare to a homemade doughnut! Anybody else ever make doughnuts?
