the punched-out dough balls were worked back into

Title: Apple-Cider Doughnuts with Maple Glaze
Categories: Doughnuts
Yield: 12 Servings

3 tb White sugar for preparing
-Pans
2 c All-purpose white flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
2/3 c Packed brown sugar
1/2 c Apple butter
1/3 c Pure maple syrup
1/3 c Apple cider
1/3 c Nonfat plain yogurt
3 tb Canola oil
MAPLE GLAZE:
1 1/4 c Confectioners' sugar
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
1/3 c Pure maple syrup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat the molds of a mini-Bundt pan
with nonstick cooking spray or oil. Sprinkle with white sugar,
shaking out the excess.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking
soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside. In another bowl, whisk
together egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider,
yogurt and oil. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until
moistened. Divide half the batter among the prepared molds,
spooning about 2 generous tablespoonfuls of batter into each mold.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when
touched lightly. Loosen the edges and turn the cakes out onto a
wire rack to cool. Clean the mini-Bundt pan, then recoat it with
cooking spray or oil and sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter.

To make maple glaze: In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and
vanilla. Gradually whisk in enough maple syrup to make a coating
consistency. Dip the fluted side of the "doughnuts" in the glaze
to coat. Then set them glazed side up on a wire rack over waxed
paper for a few minutes until the glaze has set.

and their donuts taste like super market ones.

They're better than what my supermarket sells. Probably because they
are freshly baked/fried in house even if they start with frozen
dough while Loblaws in Yellowknife is 2 days away from whatever
factory makes and packages theirs.

The soups and sandwiches are nothing spectacular but are tasty
enough. I'd rank their sandwiches ahead of Subway and Quiznos.
Grandma Lee's was superior but that chain is virtually defunct.

The metro sandwiches (I know I'm plugging a supermarket again) are

I'll drink it because it's conveniently everywhere and the service is fast,
but it's far from my favourite. The quality has been noticeably worse since they lost their original supplier years ago.

Funny thing is McDonalds picked up said supplier and their regular coffee nowadays tastes very much like the old Tim's. I'd probably stop there for coffee more often but I find their service very slow in comparison.

Very true! I prefer the McDonalds coffee now as well. (I wonder if we
should specify McDonalds Canada?) but they do have slow service, it's not
like the old days where they didn't have such an insane menu.

LOL! Don't worry, we have cooks here but we also have eats! Afterall, what use is a cook with one on to eat it!

We don't have Tim Horton's down here in Virginia Beach and I'll add an unpopular option that Starbucks is more about $$ than being actually good stuff. Believe it or not, my local 7-11 has some really good coffee.

Meantime here's a funny for today. It's raining fish.

2 hawks got into it when one was carrying a fish (I am close enough to the beach for this). Dagnabbit! They dropped it on my roof and my husband had to climb up to knock it down then take it off to a pet safe zone and let the other birds have it before we put the rest in the trash can (if not carried off).

Believe it or not, my local 7-11 has some really good coffee.

I always thought it was an American company but it turns out that
7-Eleven Inc. is Japanese-owned. They are all over the world but
never really got anywhere in Canada. There are at most a few hundred
of them here.

The big C-store player in Canada with over 15,000 stores is Quebec
based Alimentation Couche-Tard. They have swallowed up lots of other
chains and kept those brand names alive: Mac's Convenience Stores,
Circle K, Winks and Becker's Milk Stores etc.

Mac's get their coffee from Seattle's Best Coffee which is now part
of Starbucks but their coffee is cheaper and has a different (and
nicer) taste profile.

It's raining fish. 2 hawks got into it when one was carrying a

Neat! We often have raven vs. gull food fights here.

In my last post I mentioned having a can of coconut milk to make
some tiki drinks. Well then I had a lot of leftover coconut milk so
I used some of it up in some tapioca pudding.

The recipe on the package suggested:

3 tb minute tapioca
1/3 c sugar
3 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg

but there was only 2 tb of tapioca left in the bag so I did this:

2 tb minute tapioca
1 tb farina (Cream of Wheat porridge)
1/4 c Demerara sugar
1 tb white sugar
2 3/4 c milk
1/4 c rum
1/2 c thick coconut cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg

The taste was fine but it didn't set up as a firm pudding; it
remained a medium thick dessert sauce, so I'm pouring it over sliced
fruit and pound cake. Looking back I realized I did a math error on
the ratio of liquids to starchy solids. I should have cut back on
the milk even more when I added both the rum and the coconut cream.



Cheers

As the Bald eagle population is restoring, our area is having intresting issues. See, they like southern Hampton Roads. (Virginia beach, Nrfolk and so on). Guy got in trouble for cutting down a tree at his new house. Seems a bald Eagle nested there 7 years ago. Then we had an issue with one nesting apparently along one of our major bridges and later, another nesting set right in the yard of a school.

Yep. I even saw one taking a rest in the yard of a neighbor last year.

Not any more. :( One of my friends is a manager at Macs (Now circle K
in Ontario) and I sometimes make coffee at his store. It's Mother parkers
now. :( (In ontario). He accidently lost 3 cases of the seatles best
dark roast and it ended up in my house. <G> We've since drank it! ;)

The new Mother Parkers blend is only good when I'm desperate, thankfully
Mohd agree's with me and on a certain day of the week if I go in to his
store for a visit I'm told a number. That number means he made /good/
coffee on a specific machine and if I grab a cup and use that machine
(even though it says "out of service") I get gooooood coffee. ;)

I also don't pay for the good stuff as it's not "corp approved". I like
having friends! <G> The last coffee was a "Dark City Roast" from Toronto
I told him about and provided. I never know what day I'm going to get the
good stuff and that's just one more reason I go to his store.
