Today, the market is swamped with a variety of doughnuts. With a hole in the middle, with chocolate syrup, with cinnamon, coconut, chopped hazelnuts, but also like the ones I make following my mom’s Tanja recipe (she will not be pleased for mentioning her, cause she thinks I have surpassed her in the mastery of doughnut making). For me the idea of a perfect doughnut is the one which is hollow, it has a central hole, smells like a grated lemon peel, is not too greasy and not too doughy. I have to admit they are not easy to make, but it is worth the effort. The children call them grandma Tanja’s doughnuts.
And I call my mother to say that I have never ever in my life made more delicious doughnuts. “Margarita you do them well, you are not at all worried about the outcome, you just focus on the artistic moment”, says my mum. And she is right, it is all about motivation ... ❤
