I literally JUST made these with the chocolate glaze, and they are unbelievably delicious. This was my first foray into deep frying, and it’s super satisfying. Non greasy food, and amazing flavor!
James Shafer, if your watching this, why dont you ever bring donuts to rehearsal? you work at Freddies. BRING SOME LOVE!
It has all been rather mangled at this point, I’m sure there is several scenario’s that exist for who did what and when…
DONUTS! GOOD! XDDDDD
Practicality issue?
Decent scale (accurate enough) at walmart: $20
Size: 6″ x 4″ x 2″
Whats impractical about that?
But the kid that she puts on his lap at the end is his actual daughter.
I dont care who invented the doughnut penn dutch amish germans blah. I just want the doughnuts
Besides confusing the Pennsylvania Dutch with the Amish, he also confuses the Pennsylvania Dutch with the people from Holland–the Pennsylvania Dutch are actually Germans–Dutch in this case being a mispronunciation of deutsch which is the German word for German.
She’s been in a few episodes. Honey one for sure, plus avacado and the milk one.
missed that one
lol “I’ll Be Back!”
I wouldn’t say he NEVER gives the volumetric concersions, he just gives them very little. The only time i remember him giving a volumetric conversion was when he was making blueberry cake. But I agree, he needs to give them more often.
hahahaha moo juice
“Nielson Family” is a referenece to the Neilsen ratings, which determine if a show can stay on American airwaves or not. If your show has low ratings, the show is “sweeped” or taken off the air. A high rating not only keeps the show on the air, but also attracts the attention of commerical sponsors who pay millions of dollars to hawk their wares during the show’s breaks. More sponsors = more money for network and studio. Anyways, Alton is trying to appease the Neilsen peeps with donuts.
Whats the significance of a “Nielson Family”?
She is XD
Never underestimate a Cute kid that happens to also be his daughter…..XD
I want to marry him,
Hugh Laurie from House is British. He “loses” his accent for American television so why not?
Didn’t you listen to the man, you have to measure by weight!
Most cell phones now come with a converter. Use that.
Do not say you douchebag when the top chef here is named Brown.
That out of the way, you’re right. This show is a guiding light to poor bastards living alone who need cheaper ways to a great meal and fulfilling the void in their existence made by a diet of ramen and cheap coffee. But now that i know how to make shrimp ramen pouches, french onion soup, and cheesecake, my life is once again worth living.
…
At least until i get writers block and can’t function until i recover.
He’s riding an SV650!
Moo juice xD
indeed this show is sacred, for it was alton who delivered me from a life plagued by culinary ignorance and bland food. Accept his heavenly influence in your life, and you too may know the heaven on earth that is….
GOOD EATS
