Homemade donuts

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour. (self-raising)
3 tbs of sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tbs margarine
3/4 cup milk/dairy alternative

Large quantity of oil for deep frying
Sugar for dusting

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients well.  Melt margarine and stir the liquids into the flour to form a thick batter.

Bring your vat of oil up to a medium level of heat and drop portions of the batter in the oil to cook.  Because the dough will float naturally you will have to turn one during cooking to ensure the donuts cook all the way through.

When even golden brown remove the donuts from oil and drain.  When cooled slightly dust with sugar.

The goose and the gander

Time for some random social commentary.  Humans must be the only species of animal where the following proverb doesn't ring true 'what is good for the goose, is good for the gander'.  Now we spend so much time constructing fictions about masculinity and feminity that we actually believe that there are things that each gender shouldn't actually do.  Makes no sense to, outside of you know, pregnancy.
