Pumpkin Donuts

Here is a treat for Fall – pumpkin donuts.  This recipe makes approximately eighteen regular size cake donuts; the perfect amount for sharing. It is simple to prepare and delivers a delicious reward when you are done. Also it gives you another reason to use that donut pan you bought after reading the Devil’s Food Donuts posting in May! These pumpkin spiced donuts are slightly sweet, slightly spiced, moist and tender and everything you want in a cake donut. As for topping, I went with half in a cinnamon sugar coating and the other half glazed. Naturally, I opted to make a bourbon glaze which added an interesting and enjoyable flavor. Bring these to share with work colleagues, friends watching football (or baseball), or just to…

Graham Flour Waffles

Spice Cookies

Today’s experiment was with cookies.  No, not the annoying web cookies stored in your browser, but that holiday treat everyone enjoys – at least everyone I know.  I based this recipe on a Lebkuchen recipe, making some slight adjustments. The cookie it produces is a flavor bomb – honey, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, almonds, ginger, vanilla and rum. That’s right, I wrote ‘rum’. I made a simple rum glaze for these warm spiced treats and these cookies could be called chewable Hot Buttered Rum! So preheat that oven, we have family and friends needing these delights!
