Now when I am feeling all spendy, I love to order deep fried salt and pepper pork, but over the years, I find myself ordering less at meals and so the app’s tend to either become the meal or don’t get ordered.

Add in the fact that one of the few things I don’t have in the house is a deep fryer and that I tend to bake most things for a healthier version and I rarely deep fry anything..

BUT, and this is a BIG But.. I have a craving.. I mean it was crazy, I would have taken chips, or fries or KFC chicken in a heartbeat.. but I had a) told myself not extra spending and b) no leaving the farm today , at least anywhere not within walking distant..

Then a friend said, going skating and beaver tails added to the craving, cinnamon/sugar beaver tails..

O my god, it just got worse, and I caved.. not in the sense of breaking my own rules but.. I made a very small batch ( 6 in total) of yeasty doughnuts and for supper, well I took out a small pork roast I had cut to make a canadian bacon out of at a later date and I cubed it up, in a bowl, I added in cornflour, and corn meal and Jerky seasoning and I coated those peices and deep fried them.. they were perfect, crunchy, slightly sweet because it was the same oil that had done the donut mid-afternoon treat (don’t worry we didn’t go crazy, we have one for this evening and one for breakfast as well).. to make that donut even more amazing, I drizzled it with sheep’s cream and it melted into the sugar and created a kind of icing on it.. heavenly.

It hit the spot, it was awesome! I can’t say that I would add these to the homestead menu on a regular bases but for a extra special treat, I would do this again for sure..
