Old Fashioned Donuts – Choose Your Own 12 Pack

Take your pick from four of Firecakes’ Buttermilk Old Fashioned donuts: Wildflower Honey Glaze, Sicilian Pistachio, and Valrhona Chocolate.

The closely-guarded recipe for Firecakes’ old fashioned donuts can trace its roots back to founder Karen Fox’s grandfather, Billy Hobbs, who fried up fresh donuts every morning for workers in northern Wisconsin logging camps back in the 1930s. His “firecakes” were fried in a large cast-iron pot over an open fire. Nowadays, Firecakes has three Chicago locations and a roaming truck, and they’re making all their donuts by hand, fresh throughout the day, using only old-world methods. Billy would be proud.
