Hiya, Fiesta friends! Happy National Donut Day!
So, it’s been exactly a year since last National Donut Day. And it’s been exactly a year since I last didn’t share any donut recipe.
What a shame, since I looove donuts. Mainly because I also looove coffee. And as you know, donuts and coffee go together, like love and marriage. Just ask a police officer, he or she would agree. I do have a terrific beignet recipe, however. Aren’t beignets essentially donuts?!
No?! Okay, when I get home from work today, I shall remedy the unforgivable situation of not posting a donut recipe for the nth time by working to perfect this recipe.
Hint: They’re still not exactly donuts. Not what you think of donuts, anyhow, but are actually better. Yes, better than donuts, if that’s even possible. I hope I’m building up enough suspense here to keep you interested in waiting for the recipe.
If not, at least there’ll be these:
Thanks, Diann, for helping select these features!

It’s National Donut Day?! What?! How did I not know this? Your donuts look so pretty! Can’t wait for the recipe!!
Angie says
I wouldn’t have remembered either if not for some notification about free donuts ? Will work on the recipe as soon as I get home. They’re pretty good, honestly, but I want them perfect ?
Ashley says
Thanks for hosting a great link up party this week! Have a wonderful weekend.

National Donut Day… It’s also National Fish & Chip Day! 😛 Ah, I’m still to try making vegan banana blossom ‘fish’ 😀 and Angie, your donuts / not donuts look amazing! 🙂 Happy Fiesta x
Angie says
Is it National Fish & Chip Day where you are? I should take note of that for next year. Banana blossom “fish” sounds sooo…intriguing! Ah, yes, the donuts/not donuts thing ? I’ll work on the recipe tonight if I’m not too tired. Happy FF, Laurena!
Petra says
National doughnut day? I completely missed it!
Your not exactly doughnuts looks delicious, are they cronuts? Just being curious 🙂
Thank you for hosting us again, am so glad to be back 🙂 xx
Angie says
If it wasn’t the free donuts offered by Dunkin Donuts, I would have missed it, too. It may be just a US thing. I heard it’s National Fish & Chip day in UK. And I won’t keep you in suspense anymore, my not-exactly donuts are actually babas au rhum. Now the cat is out of the bag ?
Life Diet Health says
Oh! You know… I knew that! Mum and Dad used to have Rum Babas all the time! That was my first thought! Waiting for the recipe! 😛
Angie says
Didn’t have the chance to work on the post, but I’m taking a day off tomorrow so maybe I’ll have time to blog, barring any distractions that are so many around here. Garden, Skye, Netflix….. ?
Mary says
It’s doughnuts in Aus, Angie. Unfortunately I’m not aware of any free ones going. So, you’re going to have to pull out all the stops and organise a recipe. ?
Angie says
Doughnuts… donuts… same thing, right? I mean, obviously, if I were composing an essay I would go with the original version ? Will try to post a recipe as soon as humanly possible, Mary. Though my “donuts” may not be considered traditional doughnuts, but trust me I think better and healthier.
Tamy says
Another GREAT party – THANK YOU for hosting. I brought my Garlic Cream Chicken, Caramel Apple Hand Pies and Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cake to the party. I hope you have a FANTASTIC week.
Angie says
Thanks, Tamy! Garlic cream chicken? YUM!!
Helen at the Lazy Gastronome says
Thanks for hosting the party and thanks for featuring my shrimp and grits!! I’m honored and excited!

You’re welcome, Helen. That reminds me, I should link to your party. I have a brand new recipe ?

Donuts are one treat most cultures share in common.
Nice party!

Thanks so much for sharing my meatball recipe…a great reminder that I really should make them again sometime soon!
Angie says
They sound soooo…..goood!!
