It seems whenever I visit the southern parts of the US, I can find sour cream doughnuts in Dunkin’ Donuts easily, but they’re almost impossible to find up north.
Do they have sour cream doughnuts where you live?
Hi everyone! I'm looking for a reliable large batch (50+ at a time) doughnut recipe so I can begin offering them for my Sunday brunches. I've tried several recipes that make smaller batches, but when trying to multiply them they just don't come out right. I do live at high altitude (8000ft), if that makes a difference. I'd like them to be old fashioned sour cream or cake doughnuts, but at this point I'm happy with anything I can get to work on a reliable basis.
Wife said that the sour cream was light. I lifted it up and down and told her "Nah, feels like it's a pound to me."
While my parents and older brother are generally ok people, they can be very thickheaded about some things. Ever since I was a little kid I didn't like sour cream or yellow mustard. The sour cream I can tolerate if it's already in something. But the yellow mustard I hate. Whenever it's put on or in something other than potato salad, it's all I can taste. My parents and brother love yellow mustard. And whenever my dad made hot dogs or burgers, he'd wanna sauce them for me. And I'd have to insist on doing it myself or I'd get them covered in mustard. Then he'd act disappointed when I couldn't eat them. And I tried. He and my mom would just say that my sense of taste would change as I got older. But it never did. At least in regards to yellow mustard. My brother even thought it funny to prank me with it a few times by taking a bottle of mustard and squirting me with it. His first job was in fast food as well, and he'd like to mustard my burgers every time I ate there while he was on shift. I kept complaining and that got him in trouble with his manager.
With the sour cream every time my parents made Mexican food, they'd ask me if I wanted sour cream on it. And I mean EVERY TIME! I'd just point out to them that I'd never liked sour cream. And to stop asking. Recently I was invited over to my parents' place for dinner along with my brother. And while eating the food I tasted yellow mustard. My dad asked me how I liked the food and I went completely deadpan asking him why he'd snuck mustard into it. He acted like I was imagining things. But I pointed out the bottle that was still on the counter, and could find layers of it in the food. He just sighed because he'd been caught.
But I'd had enough. I stood up and asked why they'd both been trying to force yellow mustard and sour cream on me all my life when I couldn't stand it. They said that they just thought I'd eventually like it. Then my brother piped up and said I was being rude. I told them all I was tired of this. And after nearly 25 years of life you'd think that they'd understand that I never liked yellow mustard or sour cream, and to stop pushing it on me. My brother said I was being stupid. I said he wouldn't be happy if someone was always pushing the foods he hates on him. He can't stand sushi, and I love it. But I never push sushi on him. He said that was different, and mom and dad were just being nice by making me dinner.
I said enough was enough, and I wasn't eating any more yellow mustard. Then I

I remember growing up in the late 90's and early 2000's. My grandma would buy doughnuts once in a while from grocery stores. Sure they weren't gourmet doughnuts. But they were great to my young child mind nonetheless! My absolute favorite doughnut was the chocolate long John! 👌 Perfectly sweet. The concept of a boston cream doughnut didn't exist in my world. Local grocery stores didn't sell them. My middle school years came around and all of a sudden this new doughnut trend started taking place around me. The dreaded Boston Cream wave had begun! I don't remember when it started... But I do remember biting into what I thought was a chocolate Long John only to have my taste buds overwhelmed with overpowering sweetness! YUCK! I spit it out! My grandma thought that she purchased chocolate longjohns...a mistake she'd continually make for a good minute... It was understandable as this wave came without warning! I thought "WHO in the HELL thought it would be a great idea to take a perfectly good chocolate doughnut and fill it with... icing, vanilla pudding, or whip cream?!? frickin birthday cake levels of sweetness!" It was simply too damn sweet! Everyone else however sang it PRAISES of all things! The world's gone mad...
I could eat all sorts of doughnuts. Jelly, glazed, powdered, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls... all delicious... Buy I can't ponder how someone in their right mind could think Boston cream doughnuts are delicious...
In high school I worked at a Taco Bell. Almost 20 years ago. Had great customer reviews in the drive thru and front, worked long hours on Saturday nights, came when expected, all that jazz. It was late one night and we were getting ready to start cleaning (this TB stayed open until 3 am). Guy hits the DT and asked for a Taco Salad, hold the sour cream. I helped run the cold line so I did the vegetables, cheese, and sauce. Boxed it up and bagged it, and just before I grabbed the bag to go to the DT window, I took the sour cream and squirted a dollup into my hand. I did the entire transaction one-handed, clearly holding that sour cream in the other hand with a smile on my face to a dude that drove away doing a triple-take as he drove away with the most confused look I've ever seen before. My coworkers were on the floor laughing. I got wrote up for it the next day because the guy called 1800 Taco Bell on me for it.
Glad I found a sub to share this story in. I still laugh about it.
So I have a lot of sour cream that’s about to expire. Any ideas what I can make so it doesn’t go to waste?
