O'Fashion Donuts - The Hill

Wow I love these donuts.

Elvis Presley posters line the windows. While the shop certainly isn't a marvel of organization or design, this is a totally underrated donut shop on The Hill, very close to World's Fair Donuts. I like O'Fashion better. 


We got a Chocolate Long John, Chocolate Iced Custard Filled, and Glazed. The woman behind the counter said Plain Glazed is their most popular and I see why. 




The selection by 11am is bad, though. Nearly everything is sold out and I've been there once before with a similar situation, so get there before 10am.

We got a coffee, milk, and 4 donuts for $3 and some change.

Fried Croissant or Fried Danish Cruller?

Image
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!

Beignets in STL - Bar 360 (Downtown)

Image
What's a beignet? "Beignet, synonymous with the English "fritter", is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux pastry. Beignets can also be made from other types of dough, including yeast dough."- Wikipedia Thanks, Wikipedia! It's basically a fried little donut covered in powdered sugar. Sometimes they come with a dipping sauce that is chocolatey. Bar 360 in Downtown STL has beignets and they are a great sharable treat. They are bite sized and airy, like little pillows. These beignets tasted like they had cinnamon involved. They came out hot, but I almost liked them better cold. For $7, they give you a lot of beignets! We had 6 friends trying to conquer this plate and could barely do it. We also ate pizza, though. I read some Yelp complaints that the beignets weren't all cooked the same (some doughy, others crispy), but I didn't have this issue. They were good, but it was really all about the sauce, for me. They

Travel Edition - Pikes Peak "World Famous Donuts" at 14,000 ft

Image
The sign says they are "World Famous", so I had to break my gluten free streak for 1 bite. Maybe 2. But honestly, they are really only good if you dunk them in coffee. Otherwise, they were really oily. Kind of crunchy on the outside and more like a french fry than a donut. Or a funnel cake minus the powdered sugar. Why don't they add some powdered sugar?! There's an idea. According to the Rocky Mountain Food Report , doughnuts have been sold on the mountain for around 125 years... "They’re high-altitude [cake] doughnuts — they can only be made above 14,000 feet. … We just make high-altitude adjustments to the recipe. And of course we do have our secret ingredient, which we can’t reveal, sorry.” I'm sorry, too, Pikes Peak. Maybe you were having an off day, but I wasn't impressed. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm at 14,000 ft elevation again to give them a second try. ** Note: Oddly enough, after writing this, I'm totally craving
