JERSEY WONDERS (DES MERVELLES), AKA DOUGHNUTS / DONUTS



Jersey Wonders (Des Mervelles), Aka Doughnuts / Donuts image

Traditionally, Jersey housewives cooked their Wonders as the tide went out. If they cooked them on an incoming tide, the fat in which the Wonders were cooked would invariably overflow the pan! The nearest English equivalent to the Jersey Wonder would be the doughnut, although Wonders are never coated in sugar, nor filled with jam. Courtesy of bbc.co.uk
