Hmmm...that's interesting. MY favorite donuts are also the glazed cream ones. I'm going into the kitchen right now and HIDE them.

Er...I'm hiding them so that nobody else will get here ahead of you and eat them all. You knew that's what I meant, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?

LOL Jonny! Way to go! I wonder what breed that "Killer Dog" is (that's what it says when you right click on Properties). I got a good laugh out of it too. Thanks for the laugh.

Reminds me a bit of Winston Churchill also.

No it stewed apple or rubarb like you get in a pie with a crumble top very similar to the one on the donut looks

Ingredients
Crumble:
300g/10½oz plain flour, sieved pinch of salt
175g/6oz unrefined brown sugar
200g/7oz unsalted butter, cubed at room temperature
Knob of butter for greasing

Filling:
450g/1lb apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm/½in piece
50g/2oz unrefined brown sugar
1 tbsp plain flour
1 pinch of ground cinnamon

Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Place the fruit in a large bowl and sprinkle over the sugar. Stir well being careful not to break up the fruit.
3. Butter a 24cm/9in ovenproof dish. Spoon the fruit mixture into the bottom, then sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
4. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture bubbling.
5. Serve with thick cream or custard.

It is lovely made with rhubarb which I prefer

We'll be here for the party.

This a pic of me and my brother in our Hawaiian shirts. He's pregnant!

It definitely has the bull dog look about like my England flag

Well I don't like chocolate so I'm picky

Wow! I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like chocolate.

Oh okay, I've seen that before. I think it's called Apple Brown Betty here, but I'm not sure.

I'm all worn out from laughing so hard at some of the posts. Have to get up early tomorrow and test the new toaster. So, goodnight all. Stay safe. Stay sober.
