We’re talking vanilla today. I know. I know. Something must be wrong when I don’t have chocolate all over my treats. But, no… I’m fine. I’m just loving on chocolate’s often overlooked sister with these beauties… Vanilla Bean Doughnuts from the book Pure Vanilla and a very vanilla giveaway.
Vanilla, but definitely not plain.
You know, I don’t work with dough and yeast nearly enough. But when I do I remember how much I love to watch it rise. It fascinates me.
If doughnuts can be adorable – or adoughable (ha) – then this one definitely is.
I mean, look how cute and puffy it is.
But not as cute as when it’s warm and bathed in vanilla bean icing.
I did have to fight my urge to decorate these with bright, colorful sprinkles though. What a pretty pretty backdrop that white would be.
But I didn’t. I refrained. I mean it would be a shame to cover up all those beautiful tiny vanilla bean specks in the icing don’t you think?
Oh my. Send help.
Never mind. I’ve got this.
