A few weeks ago I encountered a pile of these "seconds" in Long's Bakery and had to leave the store with a few in tow. Inexpensive.
But there's a secret to eating day-old donuts: Dunk 'em.
Hot coffee is the great equalizer when it comes to seconds. Dunk a day-old it freshens up quite nicely.
I've dunked donuts so stale they could have been used as a door-stopper. But once they hit the drink, there's no telling how old they are.
My oldest donuts have been at least a week old. I've eaten donuts that were so old, we were on a first-name basis. I've eaten donuts that were so old, I'm sure they were embalmed. And I've eaten donuts that were so old, they had outcroppings of new growth on them. But that just means there is more to love.
The next time you happen upon a bakery, don't look past the day-old shelf. There are some great bargains there.
Believe me. I know.
And remember . . . all things, including donuts, in moderation!
