Fauschnaut Day, One Week Later

One week ago was Fauschnaut Day. We ended up making about 6 dozen of the tasty donuts three days before the big day. They were really good, and we didn't even use Crisco for the recipe. We used this non-partially-hydrogenated "hippie" shortening. They weren't exactly the same, but they didn't make me feel like shit after eating four one of them. (uh did I just say four? I would never eat that many in a row...) They were excellent and very tasty. I even brought 2 dozen to work so I can explain over and over what a Fauschnaut is.

Two days I ago we finished the last of the fresh ones, and we still have about 8 left in the freezer. Yummy in my Tummy!™ Owen had some, but he didn't like them. We've been raising him like a good hippie without lots of juice, fruit, and sugar type things. Mostly veggies and some meat. And in fact, I just finished a Clossal Chocolate Chip Cookie and offered Owen a piece. He looked at me like I was offering him a piece of poop. If it's not brown rice, it's gotta be poop I guess....

You ate four dozen of those things in two days. Jesus! I still don't get it. But your mom does doesn't she? Ha, a good throwback Fauschnaut joke.

Did you make enough fausghtnauts to survive the Rapture?

No one ate 4 dozen in two days. We made them over a week ago...

And half of those donuts went to his work and to other friends, so really it was more like we ate 2 dozen in a week. And if you can't eat 2 dozen donuts in a week, then you're just not serious about donuts. Right, Holly?

Did you eat hippie syrup with those bad boys?

I know I've been born and raised PA Dutch, but I've never gotten in to the whole Fauschnaut thing. Don't know why, I love a stuffed noodle or shoofly pie every now and then but the Fauschnauts just don't do it for me.

No hippie syrup. I couldn't think of a good replacement. Maybe next year.
