The shoofly pie donut was a hit. If I did it again, I would use a little more melted butter, a little more brown sugar and molasses, and I would add more spice: cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. And I would rename the donut to a "Brown Sugar Donut" or "Molasses Donut" or "Spice Donut". I like Shoofly Pie, but the donut really needs a molasses custard filling to qualify as a "pie" donut.

Big up to the crew: I always thank our crew (AR, RML, and SZ) profusely, but this week they really came up big. RML, in the kitchen for the first time, was quickly cutting donuts like a pro. We were frying, glazing, bagging, and loading product at pace till just minutes before the open of the market. Because there are any number of possible complications to the morning baking production, this phrase aptly characterizes the process (t-shirt by Parra):
Bartering: Piedmont Biofarm (Radishes, Lettuce, Green peppers), Rob and Mo from Monuts, Jeep's Kettle Corn.
Our Awesome Patrons: Nat and Madeline (pictured), Sarah and Jessee, Miriam, Suzanne, Anne G., Horst, Karen et al., Marybeth.
