Cinnamon Twists
In Mexico City they have churros. In Rome they have zeppole. In New Orleans they have beignets. It’s nearly impossible to find a culture that doesn’t love their doughnuts. Doughnut varieties are as different as the cultures that adore them. They can be yeast raised or cake style, filled or glazed, fried or baked but they’re always delicious.
Homemade doughnuts are surprisingly easy to make. While they may not be practical for a busy day breakfast, they sure will keep the family close by on a relaxed weekend morning. You can just imagine how the house will smell. The hardest part will be keeping your family at bay while you take the fresh baked doughnuts out of the oven.
