I finally made it to Smorgasburg in Williamsburg this weekend (the weekly market of local food vendors selling everything from grilled corn with smoked peach butter to homemade brisket and bklyn made jams, plus a farmer's market)
Now let me just say this, I'm not a huge doughnut fan and will choose a lot of other fat or sugar laden lovlies before I indulge in a doughnut, however, the DOUGH doughnuts I ate completely BLEW MY MIND and were hands down the best thing at the market. When we got there the doughnuts were sold out, but just as I finished off a bit o' fried chicken a fresh delivery arrived from their store in Bed Stuy. Big, light, chewy, warm....they just pulled apart so beautifully. I got a coconut milk glazed with toasted coconut on top AND a blood orange glazed doughnut (complete with a candied orange peel garnish). I'm kind of obsessed.
You can find them at 305 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, Ny. The mastermind behind these pillows of love is Fany Gerson, a James Beard award winner for he cookbook, My Sweet Mexico (I am awaiting my copy from Amazon as I type). Clicky clicky the link above for more on her.
Apparently it took chef Fany Gerson six months to perfect her dough. I will be trying my hand at some yeasted doughnuts tomorrow and will post the results and recipe soon there after- wish me luck and please post any tips if you have made them before!
