Cereal Doughnuts

Cereal doughnuts 1

Cereal is the new It ingredient. Sweet and crunchy, sometimes loaded with what are now known as “cereal marshmallows” and trendy in and of themselves, its retro appeal has made it a key ingredient in everything from marshmallow squares to ice cream sundaes. As a kid, I begged for the sweet stuff, but never got it – we were stuck with plain Cheerios (which, surprise! I still love) and anticipated a box of our choice on camping trips or our birthdays. These days fancy cereals have become more of a special treat or late night snack, and somewhat of an obsession for W. In London, we scouted out both locations of the Cereal Killer Cafe, where you can order from a wall of imported cereals, choose toppings and flavoured milks, and take your bowl to the back room, where they have tables and chairs, tube TVs and even single beds with cartoon sheets you can sit cross-legged on to dive in. (It’s all about the ambiance.)

Years ago we went to Portland, and made the pilgrimage to Voodoo Doughnuts, famous for their over-the top doughnuts, some with crunchy cereal loaded on top of the glaze like sweet barnacles. And a few weeks ago, the Calgary Underground Film Festival had their annual all-you-can-eat cereal and cartoon Saturday morning, and the buffet of cereals combined with a lineup of vintage cartoons from the 60s, 70s and 80s reminded me of how singularly special weekend mornings were, when you were young enough to be free of work and decision-making stresses, and being pre-internet were subject to whomever scheduled the TV programming for the three channels that were available.

My friends and I would set our alarms and run down the street to each others’ houses in our PJs, pillows in hand, to spend as many hours as possible watching cartoons and eating bottomless bowls of cereal. It was the highlight of our weeks. (I’m fairly sure some of my friends were chosen based on their parents’ cereal shopping habits.) I explained to W how once the cartoons wound down at around noon, that was it – there was no option to go watch something else on YouTube or iTunes.

And so, feeling all nostalgic, we decided to have a Saturday morning cartoon cereal party with the cousins – an almost sleepover, with plenty of milk and a buffet of cereal boxes, and because I had to push things ever so slightly over the top in order to score some extra awesome aunt points, cereal doughnuts. (How to win friends and influence people under 10.)

doughnut dough

I used a yeast-risen dough so that they weren’t too heavy, gave them a quick dip in a vanilla glaze, then dunked them in shallow dishes of Lucky Charms, Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It’s the little things that stick with you forever. Few flavours are as nostalgic as cereal.

If you want to deliver a double whammy and use cereal milk in the dough itself, warm the milk (you may need about 1/4 cup extra) with some cereal (Lucky Charms works well), let sit for a few minutes and then strain and measure out a cup of cereal-infused milk to use as your starting point. Who would have thought cereal milk would wind up being the Next Big Thing? I knew this in the seventies. You could also use cereal milk in the icing drizzle. (And if you don’t want to waste the cereal itself, allow your kid to indulge in a bowl and use his or her leftover milk!)

When you have a batch of cereal doughnuts, it’s an instant party. And we’re celebrating Canada’s 150th all year long, right?

AuthorJulie

Yields1 Serving

Dough:
1 cup milk, warmed
2 tsp. active dry or instant yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp. salt
canola or other neutral oil, for cooking
Glaze:
2 cups icing sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
cereal

1

Put the warm milk into a large bowl and sprinkle over the yeast and a pinch of sugar; let stand for a few minutes, until it gets foamy. Add the remaining sugar, half the flour, and the butter, egg and salt and stir until well combined and sticky. Add the remaining flour and stir until the dough comes together, then knead - by hand or with the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer - for about 5 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. It should be tacky, but not overly sticky.

2

Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel for an hour or two, until doubled in size. Take out the dough and roll or pat it out on a lightly floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into doughnuts using a doughnut cutter, or use a cookie cutter or glass rim, then cut a smaller hole in the middle or poke and stretch one out with your finger. (Cut them as close together as you can to avoid having to reroll the scraps - I just cook the scraps as is, rather than try to make more doughnuts.) Cover the lot with a tea towel and let sit for 1/2-1 hour to puff up again. (They'll get puffier still as they cook.)

3

When you’re ready to fry your doughnuts, heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a wide, heavy pot set over medium-high heat until it’s hot, but not smoking - if you have a candy thermometer it should be about 350?F, or you could take a scrap of the dough and dip it in - if it sizzles and bubbles around the dough, it's ready to go.

4

Gently lower a few doughnuts at a time into the oil - you don't want to crowd the pot, or it will cool down the oil and the doughnuts could get oily and heavy - and cook for a minute, until golden on the bottom. Gently flip (tongs or a bamboo skewer work well for this) and cook until golden on the other side. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to cool.

5

Set a wire rack over a sheet and place the doughnuts on it, and place your cereals in shallow dishes. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and dip the doughnuts, then dip in the cereal. Place on the rack and add extra cereal to fill in any gaps, if needed.

6

Makes about 1 1/2 dozen doughnuts.

    Trying has been somewhat the journey. As someone fervent on natural remedies, delving into the world of hemp has been eye-opening. From to [url=https://www.nothingbuthemp.net/online-store/THC-BEVERAGES-c135328356 ]THC Beverages[/url] and protein powder, I’ve explored a variety of goods. In defiance of the confusion neighbourhood hemp, researching and consulting experts have helped navigate this burgeoning field. Inclusive, my sophistication with hemp has been favourable, offering holistic well-being solutions and sustainable choices.

    Medical school may be very difficult, both physically and mentally. I found a lot of inspiration and serenity in introspection and religious connections during difficult times. I was particularly struck by a verse from Surah Hajj that reminded us of perseverance and the benefits of tolerating concern. I found that juggling my studies with the mirrored images from Surah Hajj kept me centred. It’s amazing how spiritual guidance may provide vitality on this kind of distressing trip.

    These cereal doughnuts look really fun and nostalgic, especially the idea of combining classic breakfast cereal with a soft glazed doughnut. It’s interesting how simple ingredients can turn into something creative for weekend treats. While browsing content like this, I sometimes switch to something light on my phone, and I found a fun place to download Super Bear Adventure, an open-world Android game where you explore colorful levels, complete missions, collect coins, and enjoy simple, relaxing gameplay.

    These doughnuts are such a fun idea. The cereal topping gives them that perfect nostalgic weekend vibe, and using cereal milk in the dough is honestly clever. Cinnamon Toast Crunch on warm glazed doughnuts sounds dangerously good.

    This kind of Saturday-morning setup reminds me of old-school cartoon marathons. I usually keep a streaming setup running in the kitchen while cooking, and recently tried Magis TV APK on Android TV for that retro-cartoon atmosphere. Pretty smooth experience on larger screens.

    A friend recently told me about a platform, and I became interested in how it works. I started by studying the rules, then looked at the layout of the game board and the key metrics displayed during a round. This approach helped me better understand the mechanics before rushing into any action. I believe that when exploring a new format, it’s aviator betting game important to first get familiar with the interface and the terms of use. Users in Pakistan should also keep regional restrictions in mind and remember the importance of managing their time and spending.
