For those of us who
remember biting into a warm doughnut, fresh from the stovetop, or for
the younger generation who might be experiencing that decadent
confectionary for the first time, few can resist the allure of this
nostalgic pastry that has become a staple in American baking. A Baker’s Field Guide to Doughnuts
is the newest addition to the best-selling series from baking expert,
Dede Wilson. In this whimsical collection, Wilson convinces us that
homemade is the only way to enjoy the best-quality doughnuts, and
moreover, doughnuts are no more difficult to make than a birthday cake
or a batch of cookies.
Where home bakers had once been daunted by
the challenges of frying, flipping, and frosting, Wilson breaks down
each doughnut with step-by-step instructions that are simple enough to
guide anyone through creating doughnuts that look as beautiful as the
photographs throughout the book.
In over 60 different recipes,
she includes all the essentials like cider doughnuts, old-fashioned
buttermilk doughnuts, and French crullers, but adds a healthy dose of
creativity as well. In the first part of the book she provides "The
Master Recipes," a variety of basic doughnuts, frostings, fillings, and
glazes. The second part contains "The Field Guide," where she puts
together the master recipes in decadent combinations like chocolate
caramel-bourbon-pecan doughnuts, crème brulée doughnuts, and German
chocolate cake doughnuts.
Innumerable in their variations and
just plain irresistible, doughnuts are a baking delight won’t go out of
style. Wilson both celebrates and reinvigorates the doughnut-baking
tradition in this guide, essential to any baker’s cookbook collection.
