Donut House in Bayless is BACK!!

Image
Right as I began the donut blog, Donut House mysteriously shut down. Was I surprised? Not really- the former owners were a couple that didn't seem to ever sleep. 24 hours a day they were there, ready to give me donuts.  Under new owners, Donut House has re-emerged! The interior is newly decorated and has plenty of seating! It's cute, bright yellow, and clean.  A+ on selection - Saturday morning @ 10:30ish Steph, Hannah, Michael, and I stopped in around 10:30 and selection was great.   Steph got a  Chocolate Long John & Donut Holes . Hannah got a  Carmel Long John & Chocolate Iced Old Fashioned , Michael got a  non-donut breakfast sandwich , and I got a  Glazed Twist . Top- our confusion- what should we do with these donut holes? Eat them? Feed them to each other?   Our verdict on these donuts- for the most part, they're okay . Steph and Hannah weren't crazy about their Long Johns- they'd had better. My Glazed Twist, however, was

Fried Croissant or Fried Danish Cruller?

Michael recently developed a fondness for Fried Croissants and of course they are delicious. So I get it. But I feel one of my favorite types of doughnuts is being overlooked- the Fried Danish Cruller - the figure 8 shaped doughnut with twisty middle. And my main question: do these actually exist in Denmark? So we taste tested them from Schnuck's bakery one day & agreed the Fried Croissant was better. I still think the Danish from Federhoffer's tops it, but will have to do further research to be sure. If you know anywhere that makes delicious Fried Croissants or Danish Crullers, please comment below!
