As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!
Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

I've actually been working on a lemon custard filled donut lately:
It's Lemon, Donut?
\\Mixed At: 70vg/30pg
\\Steep Time: 10 days
MFG|Flavor|% :-:|:-:|:-: INW|Custard|3% WF|Deep Fried Pastry Dough SC|0.5% FE|Lemon|2% CAP|Super Sweet|0.25% CAP|Vanilla Whipped Cream|1% FA|Zeppola|3%
I've been a really big fan of adding a little bit of WF Deep Fried Pastry Dough to FA Zeppola for a decent donut base. INW Custard and FE Lemon make the filling, and using CAP Vanilla Whipped cream to give it some frosting. Still waiting for it to steep but the initial tastings were really promising.
you had me at INW Custard and FE Lemon
Thanks! I got 2 more days before I hit that magic 10 days for it to steep. I swear it's like a light switch with FA Zeppola, around day 8 it starts showing up, then day 10 BAM, donut.
Have you tried this with other custards? Just wondering why you landed on INW Custard. You mention you steep this for 10 days anyway - so time for custards to develop. FA Custard might match the lemon notes? FA Custard Premium? CAP Vanilla Custard? Nice recipe, just wondering about custard choice. Pumped that WF Deep Fried Pastry Dough has just become available in Australia so I'll be able to pick this up soon. Thanks Blame.
I just finally tried SlashaLo's Another Blueberry Glazed Donut recently and I'm really kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Best donut recipe I've had for sure. I was never a huge fan of Zeppola but it works wonders in his recipe. I'm curious how it would be with WF Glazed Donut (my fav donut flavor) in place of the Zep.
Another Blueberry Glazed Donut by /u/slashalo
I don't know why I haven't gotten around to trying that one yet. It was a pretty serious 2017 recipe of year contender IIRC.
Oh thanks for the link! And yeah man it's super tasty. I got a blueberry glazed donut for comparison and it's pretty damn spot on
When he's not busy doing weird shit with FA Saffron or mixing Lavender with Peanut Butter, that SlashaLo makes great stuff.
Is the torrone essential? It’s the only thing I don’t have. I reckon that’s a pretty singularly unique concentrate.
I'm no concreteriver but here's my notes on FA Chocolate Glazed Donut (AKA Day-old Chocolate TimBit).
2019/03/20 - Vaping around day 32 in the Nudge22 and I don't really like this one. It is freaking harsh. Spicy, rather. The chocolate note is far in the background and is mostly coco but does taste good. Can't really taste any donut/pastry flavors. Oftentimes a hit will have a weird unplaceable offnote though. The cocoa is different than FA Cocoa. Retry this one at 4 or 5%. At 2% here I feel it's too weak to give it a fair evaluation. That should bring out the more buttery pastry notes but the question is, will it be too fucking harsh to vape? That being said I've only vaped 3ml and I'm done with it. Going to change flavors and dump the remainder. It does NOT taste like a Lindt or any other type of chocolate bar. It also kind of reminds me of TFA Sweet Cream with it's characteristic stale/powdery notes. It's pretty delicious if you ignore the spicyness and blast this onto your tongue. Quite similar to a dry day-old chocolate TimBit. If I didn't know this flavor was brand-new I would probably swear up and down that Tim Horton's uses this exact flavoring in them.
I love this with Cap CGD
I have a simple recipe. All Flavorah; Maple Doughnut at 2% and apple filling at 1%. My first run is on the magnetic stirrer now. I tried it with apple instead of apple filling and it was a huge miss. It tasted like a maple bar dunked in apple juice. I have hope that the apple filling will be a win.
Honestly I never open these because of the titles. Can we just cut to it without the puns?
Shakespeare’s plays are littered with wordplay. He regularly used puns as a source for humour, to reveal themes and aspects of the plot, and to bond an audience in shared recognition. Munchkin on that for a little bit.
I have an English degree (as useless as it is), so I'm aware. These are not good; cringy even. Big difference.
Edit: to any further replies: K
I think that these are all top shelf puns. /u/id10-t has brought value to my Life by bringing a smile to my face every week.
Go be dramatic somewhere else. You should not impose your values on others. If you don't like puns, or they upset you, 1. I feel sorry for you, as you must be a very sad person to be as affected as you are and 2. Don't go on the internet. If you are as steadfast in your beliefs as you convey, the internet will only bring you sorrow and frustration.
If you ever want to talk I'm here. I hope this was a momentary lapse in an otherwise happy life.
