*Click on the photos to enlargePumpkin doughnuts I thought would be a good way today to use up some of the pumpkin puree we had from roasting the ones we got from a local farm a few days ago. If you've never made your own before it is actually quite simple - look below the pictures for instructions.
After a visit to a local asian market to get some ingredients, I was ready to make dinner tonight. Florentine Rice Noodle Gratin is a silky, comforting, and filling meal. I served some steamed broccoli along side. The noodles are fast to cook and hold together well after being cut. Next time I might add in some minced garlic into the onion mixture - other than that I don't think I would change anything else! This would be great to make ahead and then reheat to serve later.
I just love pumpkin desserts! This is so much better than buying canned pure pumpkin too.
ReplyDeletemmm i love pumpkin too! heh i thought it was funny that you said you did a rush job on decorating them becos it looks like you went thru a lot of trouble makin them look preetty!
ReplyDeleteSince I started coming to this blog there is always a lovely surprise on the wait. The doughnuts look fabulous. I don't even want to start thiking about what you do when you have time in your hands 'coz they look beautifully decorated as they are. AS for the gratin, what a fabulous idea. I love noodles and have already copied the recipe.
ReplyDeleteTill next time.
For a rush job in the decorating department, these little donuts look adorable. Very sweet, and sounds like tasty too.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think that the decorating looks great, too. The coloring was a nice touch. Where did you find donut pans?

ReplyDeleteMy stomach is growling! The donuts look great and the gratin looks right up my alley.
