Today was the last farmers market of the season and that means it's time to sell Andy's chocolate-frosted doughnuts. We're not sure when he started this tradition but it's been at least 10 years. We decided to document the frosting-making process:
First step is a trip to Costco to buy cocoa powder, 28(!) pounds of powdered sugar and eight pounds of butter.
Then Andy goes to church to pick up two huge stock pots.
Melting the butter.
Then he carefully measures out the cocoa powder and whisks it in.
Lots of powdered sugar, and a little milk and vanilla.
Time to use the hand mixer. Last year he burned out the motor of my hand mixer.
Ready for church!
Making the doughnuts.
Coating the doughnuts.
Out of frosting.
The line is long. Sales started at 7:30 a.m. and Andy said the line extended about six houses down on Scoville, with social distancing, of course.
Let the sales begin!
At home by 8:30 a.m. and Andy gets to enjoy a doughnut. He also brought some home for me. Delicious!
