For National Pretzel Day, have some pretzels on your doughnut. Here’s the recipe from ACosyKitchen.com.

Use pretzels in a different way on April 26th, National Pretzel Day. Consider everything from mini pretzels and pretzel sticks to big, soft pretzels as:

As a garnish for scrambled eggs, oatmeal, soup, yogurt (minis or crushed)

Instead of croutons on soup (minis or crushed)

Plain or toasted, for breakfast (big, soft)

Sliced for a sandwich (big, soft)

As a topping for potatoes or vegetables (crushed)

As a topping for ice cream (minis or crushed)

As a topping for cake, pudding, brownies or other dessert (minis or crushed)

As a crust for chicken or fish

Any other way you like

If you come up with something nifty, let us know.

PRETZEL HISTORY

Thanks to creative monks, man has enjoyed 15 centuries of pretzel snacks. Here’s the history of pretzels.

RECIPE: DOUGHNUT GLAZE

Ingredients

1/4 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Hot water

Preparation

1. COMBINE the milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan; heat over low until warm. Sift the confectioners’ sugar into the milk and whisk slowly until thoroughly combined.

2. REMOVE from the heat and set over a bowl of hot water to keep the glaze from hardening. Dip the doughnuts (or pretzels) into the glaze, one at a time, and set on a rack placed in a half sheet pan to drip. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.
