Pink Frosted Doughnuts with Sprinkles

A fluffy, sweet yeast doughnut with strawberry pink frosting and multicolored, long, and thin sprinkles. The kind, brown-haired man who worked behind the counter at the Headless Horseman Diner in Tarrytown, NY, always gave the 6-year-old me two of these treats when I went with my parents and ordered one. This is one of my favorite memories from early childhood about life in New York. Last night, Andrew brought home dessert from a Mexican bakery. Amongst the empanadas and sweet bread was a pink-frosted dougnut with sprinkles. I had told him the story of my experience with the Headless Horseman, and he surprised me with one of my favorites. It was a sweet surprise in more ways than one!
