Say what now? What the hell is that?
I wanted to make apple cider donuts, and I wanted to make them low carb…this was the result:
They tasted really good, but come on, lets be real: it was a failure.
Then I thought, forget it, its Halloween, I am just going to splurge and use regular old gluten free flour from Trader Joe’s.
I mixed everything together and realized, darn, they are just a bit too gloppy and sticky to manually form into the shape of a donut and I don’t even own a donut pan where I could bake them. I also don’t have a funnel thing to squeeze the dough out into a circle, so I had to turn on creative mode. I heated a layer of oil in a pan, slapped some in some spoonfuls of dough, and just let them fry. The result: amazeeeballs. They were so good. Doughy and crispy, not too sweet, just perfectly imperfect.
Ad far as what to name them, well, you cant call it a donut, it just doesn’t LOOK like one. Our friends were over so I told them to get to work on a name. We all settled on Muffnet Slapcakes because they were somewhere between the consistency of a muffin, a donut, and a cake.
You always hear about how failure breeds success and this is a perfect example of how true that is. What started out as one failure after another ended in a resoundingly successful and delicious sweet treat. So go ahead and just keep on failing because one of these times its going to turn into something magnificent.
