In the Kitchen With: Justin Gellatly’s Doughnuts – Design*Sponge

Alright, you know me by now…  When I get on a kick, I turn into Motormouth Maybelle.  I can’t stop talking about stuff I’m loving, and this week’s recipe has been an obsession for some time. One Saturday morning a few years ago, I stumbled into the St John Bakery near Maltby Street in London, and got one of Justin Gellatly’s cream-filled doughnuts, still warm, filled with lemon curd. Last spring, food maven and doughnut connoisseur, Nicole Taylor, tried to give me the inside track to the best doughnuts in New York, to no avail. None of them could stand up to Justin’s. They paled in comparison so much so, I actually took a few bites and threw those New York doughnuts that everyone swears by in the trash! And even though I am from the South, where doughnuts reign supreme, I admit you haven’t had a doughnut until you’ve had one of Justin’s doughnuts.
