June Doughnut Review

 June Doughnut Review


In June I made two trips to Proven Goods in Hoult's Yard.



The first was with 🐰, and we got to sit outside in the sun eating our doughnuts for the first time.



They had a Summer Berry Fool. The doughnut itself was chewy and fluffy and the jam was really fruity and tart and incredibly moreish. They initially scored it a 4/5 but the more they ate it the better it got and they eventually settled on a 5/5.

I went for the Brown Butter Pecan & Caramel Cream. The flavour of this doughnut was subtle and delicious but what really made it was the textures, with the softness of the cream and the sponginess of the doughnut contrasting gorgeously with the crunch of the pecan pieces folded through it. A very interesting doughnut and definitely a 5/5.



I headed back on Fathers' Day with my kids (their first time at Proven Goods) and this time tried the Salted Caramel Cornflake Glaze. This is one I really liked the sound of on the menu but when I saw pictures of it I wasn't so sure. Nevertheless I gave it a try and I was quickly won over. The cornflake glaze gave it a lovely texture without being too spiky and the salted caramel glaze worked so well with it! Another 5/5!

My kids went for the classic 'Homer', a plain sugared doughnut and some mini 'Homers' and mini cinnamon ring doughnuts.



Sadly, 🐰 missed out on the Rhubarb & Strawberry Crumble in June, so lets hope that won makes a reappearance on the menu!

Looking ahead to July's menu, we're both excited to try the Hazelnut 'Bueno' Glaze.
