Ever have a crazy hard-core Jam (Jelly) Donut craving that you just need a hit of Donut on your tongue? If not…then this would be an awkward moment. If you answered yes, however, then we can be friends. (Wait. Donut? Or Doughnut? Don’t judge me)
The only problem with donuts is all the effort that goes into making donuts. I mean, steaming; yeasting; chilling; waiting; frying; 36 degree body burns from oil spitting; not usually an issue making them in normal people hours…..but it does present a ‘sort of issue’ first thing in the morning when donuts are normally frowned upon at breakfast time.
Don’t get me wrong. Donuts are welcome anytime in my casa. Just to — you know, clear the air….and:
- Get you guys on the same page.
- Keep it real.
- Clear my throat. Ahem.
The thing is….these donut pancakes hit every craving possible. Fluffy donuts filled with whatever flavour Jam (or Jelly for my American amigos) your heart desires. Blueberry…Fig…Strawberry…Blackberry. Or even take a hint form the Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Donut Pancakes from a while back. The possibilities? Endless. The end result? Priceless.
The difference with these? I changed the batter to make them even more Donut-ty than the previous ones. And then of course dusting them (ok…so coating them like a mad-woman) in caster sugar (or powdered sugar), instead of Cinnamon Sugar. But when coating them…be gentle. because I may have got a little too over excited and jam burst out every where. Which I didn’t mind licking-up-off-the-bench. I meant cleaning. Cleaning…is what I meant.
If I’m going to continue keeping it real….well…. these fulfilled every part of my soul.
So much so that I played around with a little extra jam; turned it into syrup; and drizzled it all over my pancakes. Because why not?
And then…..slicing them all open I was hoping for jam berry ooze. And did I get it. It’s just donut heaven. In a pancake. First thing in the morning. We can totally high five right about now.
