The boy and I like to watch CBC's Best Recipes Ever He loves that i cook so many yummy things and has started to take an interest in looking at recipe books and watching the cooking shows. One day we watched Kary make Jelly Fauxnuts and he says "oooh Mummy, can you make those?" of course i said sure, why not!
Personally, i think the boy has a little crush on Kary Osmond, i teased him saying his "girlfriend" was on TV and he blushed, hahah!! Cute!

This recipe made 12 "faux" nuts for us, i could have probably made 14 if i had spread the mixture out a bit more, they really fluff up and are really delicious warm from the oven! I froze the remaining fauxnuts and just pop them in the boys lunch when he gets a treat =)
Oh my! How was the taste and texture? Were they as good as doughnuts?
ReplyDeleteThey were delicious, right outta the oven Hannah! I froze the rest and have been getting them out, leaving them to defrost at room temp and they still taste good, more like a muffin at this point, but fresh...YUMMY =)
