Hey, I'm Nadia. I'm a college student who loves drinking tea, cooking & traveling the world. I really want to own my own catering business someday.

I absolutely love Take That, Sherlock, and Ant & Dec. You may see a bit of The Mighty Boosh, One Direction, and McFly on here, as well as other random stuff relating to Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston.

Oh and I have a life-sized wombat. His name is Frankie.

Mycroft Doughnuts

A new Sherlock-themed version of some pretty awesome, healthy doughnuts :D

Ingredients

2 packages dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water

1 1/2 cups skim milk, scalded and cooled

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup Mycroft tea by areyoutryingtodeduceme (pulsed in a food processor to make it finer)

1/3 cup butter/margarine

4 1/2 cups white or whole wheat flour

1/4 cup butter

2 eggs

Instructions

In large mixer bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. 

 Add milk, sugar, tea, eggs, 1/3 cup of butter and 2 cups of the flour. Blend 3 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Stir in remaining flour until smooth, scraping side of bowl. 

 Cover; let rise in warm place until double, 50-60 minutes. 

 Turn dough onto well floured cloth covered board; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Dough will be soft to handle. With a floured rolling pin, gently roll dough about 1/2-inch thick (I used my hands to pat it out). 

 Cut with floured 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter. Lift doughnuts carefully with spatula and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Brush doughnuts with melted butter. Cover; let rise until double, about 20 minutes. 

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden.

Optional Glaze

1 cup Confectioners sugar

1/3 cup strong Mycroft tea

Stir together, making sure all the lumps are gone. Try to get a thick consistency, but without losing the flavour.

Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip the tops in the glaze then let them sit for a few minutes, allowing the glaze to dry.

THEN EAT!
