My sweet wife just got home from bringing our oldest to the doctor. I have one more day and if I don't feel better, I am going. So anyway she brought home some Krispy Kreme donughts to help cheer me up (and make me more rotund).

My favorite donut is a Krispy Kreme Blueberry Cake (close second is a fresh hot apple fritter). What is yours?

    I like the oldfashoned donuts (aka sourcream donuts) that kind of pop open on top, with plain white icing.

    The ones from Dunkin' Donuts are not bad at all.

    When we lived in Memphis, there was a place called Daylight donuts. (maybe firetruck will tell us if it's still there) They had some like that. Their apple fritters were the best. We would go there on Sat. AM's with the boys and each would get a fresh hot donut.

    i'm a purist. ..i go for the original plain KKs ....second are the jelly filled. ..

    but nothing, and i do mean NOTHING beats going to the KK store when the "HOT DONUT" light is lit and buying a box of the fresh hot donuts and eating them right there on site when they are piping hot. . .. damn things melt in your mouth. .. .

    uh oh . . .i'm feeling a field trip coming on!!!! damn you gene!!!! my endocronologist is gonna be pissed at me again!!!!!

    Much like beer, the one I have in my hand at any given time is my favorite!! B) If I get to pick, it would have to be the chocolate ice custard filled. Good thing I'm not on my diet this week.

    Gene,

    The next time you are going through Cullman, AL early in the morning stop by the Duchess Bakery for a dozen dougnuts and let me know how you like them. They only make so many each day and usually run out at some point so it is best to go by early. They are excellent!

    ps. Great to meet you at Eggtoberfest!

    Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Jack Daniel's-Raisin Sauce

    Serves 6 to 8

    There's a popular Krispy Kreme bread pudding down south that contains both honey-glazed doughnuts and sweetened condensed milk, but as much as I love sweets, this one sets my teeth on edge. So I've come up with a version that's a tad less sinful. The only doughnuts to use are the original honey-glazed Krispy Kremes. And they should be at least two days old. Note: This pudding puffs majestically as it bakes, hence the need for a 2½-quart baking dish. Rush it to the table just as you would a soufflé. If you're not in the mood for the sauce, top the pudding with fresh berries or thinly sliced fresh peaches and a trickle of milk or cream.

    Ingredients:

    2½ cups milk
    3 large eggs
    1⁄3 cup raw or granulated sugar
    ¼ cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey, dark rum, or brandy
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    6 dry honey-glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, broken into 1-inch pieces (about 7 cups)
    Jack Daniel's-Raisin Sauce (page 284)
    Instructions:

    Preheat the oven to 350° F. Thoroughly butter a 2½-quart soufflé dish or straight-sided casserole and set aside.

    Whisk the milk, eggs, sugar, whiskey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the doughnuts, toss lightly, and let stand for 10 minutes.

    Scoop all into the soufflé dish, spreading to the edge and smoothing the top.

    Slide the soufflé dish onto the middle oven shelf and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed, lightly browned, and set like custard.

    Serve at once with Jack Daniel's-Raisin Sauce.

    You have good tastes in doughnuts- those would be my faves as well.

    I was in Vancouver last week and got to my first Tim Horton's - still waiting for the rapture...

    I love crispy apple fritters, but if sugar-coma is what your looking for, then warm Krispy Kreme glazed.

    Ended up pouring the sauce recipe over the cooled containers and let it absorb. Decided that was great however, it was very sweet and heavy rum alcohol. Next batch will be 8 ozs sugar and 1/4 cup rum.

    Got the basic recipe from a Paula Deen Krispy Kreme donut recipe.
