I used to love their breakfast croissants! Had one close to my home years ago, but then they closed.

Yes, I did see where it was lower in calories than the turkey sausage breakfast muffin

They look good! I lost my mom's recipe for these little donuts, but I remember that there was cinnamon and nutmeg in the batter. They were so good! Here's a recipe for Beignets (Fritters) from one of my French grandmother's very old cookbooks. I've translated it from French to English. I've never made them, but thought you might be interested to see it. BEIGNETS (FRITTERS) How to cook fritters: For fritters, the thermometer must indicate 360 F to 370 F. Dip a spoon in the hot fat, and with that spoon pick up a spoonful of batter, let it slide carefully into the pot. When the fritters are not too voluminous, it is best to fry them in about 1Â½ inches of fat or enough to let them float. Frying too many at one time means they will touch each other and will be less crispy. Turn the fritters over once they rise up to the surface of the fat, and then turn over often while theyÂre frying so that they cook evenly all over. When they are nicely browned, remove them. Let them drain on paper towel before placing them on a plate. PÃ¢te Ã Beignets (Basic Fritter Batter): 1 cup flour 1-1/2 tsp baking powder Â½ tsp salt Pepper Â½ cup milk 1 egg, beaten Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat egg and add to milk, mix; add to dry ingredients, stir to get a smooth batter. Cut meat, fish, fruits, or vegetables in small cubes; add them to the batter and drop by spoonfuls into the deep hot fat. Beignets au Saumon (Salmon Fritters): Add chopped parsley and Â¾ cup of shredded salmon to Basic Batter. Fry, and serve with a fish sauce. Beignets au BlÃ© dÂInde (Corn Fritters): Prepare Basic Batter recipe but with 2 eggs (separated) and only 2 Tbsp of milk. Salt a little more, add 1 cup of corn and, at the end, fold in stiffly-beaten egg whites. Beignets aux Fruit (Fruit Fritters): 1 cup flour 1Â½ tsp baking powder Pinch salt Â¾ tsp cinnamon (optional) 3 Tbsp powdered sugar (confectionersÂ) 6 Tbsp milk 1 egg 2 cups fruit Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), salt, and sugar. Gradually add milk and beaten egg. Beat to get smooth batter. Dip peeled apple slices, pineapple slices, peach or pear quarters, into the batter. Fry, and drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or a sauce. Beignets aux Bananes (Banana Fritters): Peel 6 bananas, cut into Â½-inch slices, sprinkle with 2 Tbsp powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp orange juice. Let sit for 20 minutes. Dip slices in the batter, drop into the hot fat one by one. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Yes -- another Canuck here in Texas! Just got back from a car trip up to Canada to see our families -- and told my husband to stop at the first "Tim Hortons" near the border (there are some near the border towns -- like Detroit, Port Huron, Buffalo plus a few other spots etc. Delicious food (lovely soups, buns and scones) plus great coffee and Donuts! This is a nationwide chain -- and it is found in almost every small, medium, large villages, towns and cities! LOL! :) We even brought back a huge tin of their coffee! The chain is now owned by Wendys -- and we keep hoping that they might add more stores! :) There WAS a shop in Dublin Ohio (near the Wendys headquarters LOL!) if anyone here is nearby! :) Hereabouts we get out donuts from Shipleys. Very tasty -- but no coffee!

Looking for nutty donuts...

We have them here in Ohio, and they are my favorite! The inside is like a cake doughnut, not mushy liked glazed ones. The "icing" is not really icing, but more an extremely light layer of soft glaze, just enough to make the crushed peanuts stick to them - not enough to be squishy. They are not available at Dunkin doughnuts, or krispy kremes around here. But theres is a place here called Jolly Pirate doughnuts that always has them on the shelf. And most of the smaller single owner shops have them too.

Donuts - what kind, how many, where?
Q

Many of our rose gardening clubs have shows where hobbyists enter home-grown cut roses to win prizes. The venues may open as early as 6am, and bleary-eyed competitors stagger in, often having gone most of the night without sleep doing preparation. What saves them? Coffee and donuts!!! I'm usually just helping, rarely exhibiting, but boy do I look forward to those donuts. I rarely eat them otherwise, due to their lack of redeeming caloric value, but cake or raised, sprinkled or glazed, they are taaaasty!

I've probably eaten worse and like brightonborn said, never say never, might find myself on a trip where, I didn't have much choice or something but normally it wouldn't be something I would eat...

Not a chance, I don't even put syrup or jam on a waffle or pancake till the egg is eaten - no mixing savory and sweet for me.

Occasionally I like mixing sweet and savory, so I'd give it a try.

I do like sweet and salty together, but that just doesn't appeal to me.

Doesn't appeal to me. I might like to have a glazed donut and a strip of bacon, though.

No thank you..BUT have you ever had a donut (split) with butter on each side and fried..sounds terrible but taste oh so good. It's a good way to have the left over donuts..

Yucky! I used to love donuts and had them almost every day--that was when I was young and skinny. I haven't had a donut in more than 20 years. My mouth still waters when I pass a bakery, but they just aren't worth the calories to me.

One of my guilty pleasures is a jelly donut from Dunkin Donuts but I try to restrain myself to once a month or so. I think I'll pass on that combination.

well I can't remember the last time I ate a donut so I kinda doubt it, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying a bite. I do love sweet and savory together, my husband doesn't. We both like egg sandwiches on occasion. We are both avoiding this kind of stuff, you know come to think about it I don't think I have ever been in a Dunkin Donuts or had one, I have years ago had Krispy Kreme which was super sweet.

No. Not a fan of donuts, although once in awhile I will eat a Shipley donut. I don't like Dunkin Donuts. I also don't eat eggs. The bacon is the only part that looks good. I'd pass on the coffee too.

No way! I haven't had a donut in probably 10 years. I don't really like breakfast sandwiches either.

Donna, when I was a kid, we got day-olds from the bakery and that is exactly what Mom did with them. They softened up nicely and were heavenly.

Now, I don't eat donuts very often at all.

I saw a guy on TV try one out. He said the bacon wasn't crispy, he did not like it. As I said before, the whole idea does not appeal to me.
