Editor's note: This feature is part of columnist Jesse Blanco's "12 Days of Christmas" special presented by eatitandlikeit.com and SavannahNow. Today through Dec. 14, Jesse will introduce you to one Savannah chef and recipe a day to celebrate the holidays.
So I'm chatting over the weekend with a friend, and she asks if I am including fried doughnuts in my "12 days of Christmas" recipe selections. I thought that was pretty random, so I asked why.
Slideshow: An Eat It and Like It Christmas in Savannah.
She said: "Italians make them a lot at Christmas time, especially Christmas Eve."
Wouldn't you know it?
I told her we have a recipe for doughnuts from the The Olde Pink House, a Savannah institution. They are without question Savannah's most popular restaurant year-round.
It certainly has been a treat to have them not only as a part of our Foodie Tour, but to have them donate a recipe for the busy holiday season.
No, sorry, you aren't going to learn how they make their signature Scored Flounder dish, but you can see how they made Sweet Potato Doughnuts for the Harvest Feast Dinner out at Hunter Cattle Company in Brooklet not too long ago. Enjoy.
