Kendall Haney: Kaylen! Your heritage is from Italy! Tell me, when do you get to make these donuts? Are they only around the holidays or whenever you like to have them?
Kaylen Lucchese: Actually, we make them every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Kendall Haney: Do you make them with your family?
Kaylen Lucchese: Yes.
Kaylen Lucchese: Actually just my Mom. My Dad doesn't cook.
Kendall Haney: How would you describe their taste? If I made them, how would I know that I did it right?
Kaylen Lucchese: It tastes like a glaze donut, but much sweeter and a lot more flavor.
Kendall Haney: The dough should be soft on the inside, but should it be crispy on the outside?
Kaylen Lucchese: No. It should be creamy all through.
Kendall Haney: How do I know when to take them out of the oil?
Kaylen Lucchese: Do you know the stage before a cookie turns brown?
Kaylen Lucchese: You take them out then.
Kendall Haney: Ah! Okay! And what setting should the stove be on? Super hot, medium, or low?
Kaylen Lucchese: 350
Kaylen Lucchese: so hot
Kendall Haney: Wait...are these cooked in the oven or in oil on the stove like American donuts frequently are?
Kaylen Lucchese: keep a close eye on them
Kaylen Lucchese: in the oven
Kendall Haney: Oh!!!! Thank you so much for these tips! I'm going to try them, and then I'll report back to you next issue of the iGlobe! Sound good?
