When the weather gets chilly I wanna make baked donuts with a hint of nutmeg and dusted in cinnamon and sugar and all just for 180 calories each...
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 baking powder
1/4 teasp nutmeg
1/2 teasp salt
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp. vanilla extract...

Mix altogether,let sit 5 minutes..put into piping bag or quart size ziploc bag and twist and snip a little off corner. Pipe into donut pan sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray.bake at 425 for 8 minutes or until golden brown.melt 2 tbsp butter and pour into small dish. Dip one side into butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Follow up with a cup of tea.

Cupcakes and Nut Brown Ales...

I always get the inquisitive eyebrow when I say I like browns and porters. Not sure why because they're so damn good. At first I wasn't too excited due to it's gold foiling but then I saw its a product of England and my heart skipped a beat (but not in a New Kids on the Block kinda way). And let's face it..the story on the back regarding the stone Yorkshire squares had me at hello.
Its a subtle strength,smooth though without any awkward aftertaste...it does have a nice gentle malt thing going on which might explain why it went so well with my chocolate cupcake. No, seriously...try it with a choclate cupcake.
It's good even when it starts to get warm...so on a scale from 1 to 10 I give it an 8...just don't drink 3 in an hour like I have. Yum.zzzzzzz

I'm Back!
