    So I tried this and it was great! Part way through the process I have these milked soaked donuts and I did not want to just throw them out so I added eggs to make:
    Donut Bread Pudding
    3-4 discarded milk soaked donuts
    1 whole egg
    1 egg yolk
    1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to taste)
    1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional I would play this by ear depending on the flavor of your base donut and how vanilla you want the end product to be)
    Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg or other baking spice (to taste)
    Preheat oven to 325
    Combine everything but the donuts with a whisk until homogenous in a container with a spout
    Butter a baking dish of appropriate size about 1/2 quart/475ml per 3-4 donuts.
    Distribute the discard donuts in the baking dish and pour egg mixture over the donuts. Gently fold the donuts over the mixture until loosely combined, mostly want to avoid puddles of plain egg mixture.
    Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the center of the mixture is puffing up and golden brown.
    Let sit for 20 minutes and serve.

    I’ve just made this and it’s awesome. Literally a liquid donut. I had a bit of donut milk left after making two coffees so used it to make a donut hot chocolate for my daughter and that was pretty amazing as well!

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 Před 2 lety +13

      Blimey that must have been amazing for hot chocolate. Could easily see myself getting addicted to these if I tried them. I wonder if any independent coffee place will see this video and decide to add it to their menu? Everyone else has pumpkin spice at this time of year, so having a donut coffee would stand out.
      I can also see this donut milk being useful for something like ice cream. Ben and Jerries would definitely make a donut flavoured ice cream if they saw this video. I mean they already have birthday cake flavour ice cream that has actual birthday cake in.
      Though cos it's milk, it'd work better in gelato. Cos gelato is not pure cream like ice cream, it's like half and half milk and cream, but counterintuitively it actually tastes a lot creamier than regular ice cream. It's because of how the freezing process differs, the ice crystals are much smaller in gelato, so it's smoother. So someone could make donut gelato with it. Unless they're a big enough company like Ben and Jerry's that they could deal with having to wait probably days and days of crushing the donut into heavy cream and then waiting for it to strain out a bunch of times, and use a giant version of James's freezing centrifuge to help.
      I also wonder what it tastes like as the milk for a bowl of cereal. And even how it tastes in tea. Something like chai tea I think would go well with the donut milk because it's got such a strong and sweet flavour already. With regular black tea, the donut milk would probably overpower the tea flavour, unless you used like 4 tea bags to a mug, and added the same amount of milk as normal. That'd be a caffeine boost. That's how I make tea anyway, I use 4 or 5 bags per mug and then add milk. That way it's actually strong (cos usually when someone asks for "strong" tea they usually mean they want less milk than the average person, which makes no sense because if they're still just using one bag, then it's technically the same strength).
      Though I definitely would try a regular black tea latte, made with donut milk, at least once. Just to see how good that is. I bought some teabags years ago with some combination of stuff in them that tasted exactly like cake to me. I've never been able to find them again. They were so lovely.

Basically, take a fully proofed loaf of brioche ready for the oven and stir it in a pot of milk (or water?) breaking it up and cooking until it starts caramelizing. Combining the two ideas of donut and brioche, you could be really onto something. I'd be curious about using brown butter but straining out most of the fat. Onto experimenting!
