What to Do with Stale Doughnuts

Author: jak (add to friends)

Last week hubby came home with a packet of mini jam doughnuts. He just saw them in the shop and fancied one. We are great believers in ‘a little of what you fancy does you good.’ And these were MINI doughnuts.

[More:]

There were four in the packet. We had no family or friends visiting, so when we’d had our quota of one each, there were two left. And of course you know doughnuts have to be eaten fresh. They don’t last overnight.

I can’t bear to waste food and the next day I didn’t want to throw away those doughnuts. After research and improvisation, I came up with the following recipe. It made pudding for two days. On the first day we had it with warm stewed apple, and the second day I heated it in the microwave and poured hot custard over it. We loved it.

Preheat oven to 180º
Grease a tin or ovenproof dish
Cut the doughnuts into small pieces
Dot them with butter, bertolli spread or your choice of butter substitute
Arrange them in the greased dish
Sprinkle them with currants or raisins
Beat two eggs in a measuring jug
Make it up to half a pint with milk
Stir in a dessertspoon of sugar
Pour over the doughnuts
Bake for about 25 minutes until just firm and browned on top.
Enjoy.

Sorry – I didn’t think to take a pic.

Sounds delicious Jak! You won't believe this, but Darling Daughter has just walked in with a pack of fresh doughnuts! Almost worth letting them go stale to try it out.

You obviously have a real flair for cookery. Perhaps you should write a book of "credit crunch" recipes and call it Bite Back at the Credit Crunch.

Cheers, you two. By the time I collect enough original recipes, we'll be on the way to another boom, no doubt.
