So you know how I said it's National Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day?
Since jelly inside doughnuts isn't my kinda thing, I thought I'd just do some other kind of filled doughnuts!
These are doughnut’s cousins with a snoody French name, but they are basically just squared doughnuts. My grandma likes to make natural lye soaps and recently our friend brought her this huge bag of lavender to use in them. It was more than she needed so, of course, my first thought was to use the extra for something edible! And what better to pair with it than vanilla bean, yum!
I’ve always liked the smell of lavender in lotions and things but I’ve never tasted it, so I was very pleasantly surprised that it’s delicious, especially with a beignet and a load of vanilla frosting!
If you aren’t a big fan I guess you could skip it but I think it really sets these off. At the very least you should try adding just a tiny bit. It is very strong and if you add too much it will probably make you feel like you’re eating shampoo, but if you get the right balance it’s so good with these.
My mom and sister especially loved these! I'm thinking you will too!!!!

Hehe, thank you so much @itsmein3d! I'm super happy you like this post.
Your posts make me so hungry every single time. This is bad for a diet lol. Oh my, I'm so excited for cheat days!!! I don't know how people go without 'em! Even better than donut day, whatever day you can pick pizza AND donuts ;)
Oh and may I have the recipe for these delicious bad boys?
haha you are right - very bad for diet :D
I once ate some lavender dark chocolate, this was the first time I tasted lavender, I had always loved the fragrance but never tasted it.
From that day on I knew lavender could be a secret ingredient in some very mystical recipes of which this is a very fine example!
They look absolutely delicious, another great job Tori!
Wow, what a great comment! Super well thought out and executed. Thanks for all of the effort!
omg i cant look at these donuts anymore, all these things are making me really crave one!! and these look sooo good! have you heard of cronuts? omg!!
Yes, I have heard of the 'cronuts.' They sound dangerous to me, LOL. Thanks so much for the consistent awesome comments.

One question, when you say 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, is that the same thing as whipped cream or is heavy cream something else? Just making sure, need all the help I can get when it comes to cooking. :D

These sound delicious...beignet are similar to what we call sopapillas where I am from...hmmm maybe I will try these for my birthday...thanks :)
Oh yes, sopapillas! Just curious, where are you from? Chile? Argentina? Mexico? Thanks @thebookofuma!
I am from New Mexico, USA...lots of natives, spanish, mexicans, and gringos. :)
Very cool! Id love visit there some time.
Oh you should tons of beautiful people, beautiful food..and tons of amazing art..the landscape is also so beautiful..
Lavender in doughnuts sounds really interesting. I will have to try your recipe especially that when last year I experimented with lavender ice cream, I ended up with something that tasted like perfume :( So maybe this time I should follow a tested recipe to use up lavender I have laying around :)
I know exactly what you mean about the perfume taste @knittybynature. I'd recommend starting with a very light amount if you already know you don't like too much. Thanks!
Thank you for advice!! I hope I will be able to get right quantity so the taste isn't too intense :)
That looks so good yet so sweet
Yes, very very sweet! Thank you for reading @fluffysmurf!
WTF, woman! What you trying to do to us!? I haven't even finished my coffee yet.
Food porn...never boring.
Oh, I know right? It's so bad/good all the time. Thanks @loveon!
Definitely taste it like dancing on the tongue
So glad you liked this post @mirzacho!

Wow! These donuts look amazing! Did you just made them into a round balls first and than changed their shape before frying or how did you managed to do them square?
Yes, I changed their shape before frying. Great question and great comment, thanks so much @lepton
Another beautiful creation. reminds me to get those lavender seeds growing hehe
Always so amazingly sweet comments, thanks so much @amy-goodrich
Aw man those look delicious. I only recently had a beinget for the first time and was hooked. This looks beyond magical. This makes me want to get in the kitchen and experiment.
