She’s My Cherry Pie is on a little break, so we’re dipping into the archives and re-airing our episode from last year with Fany Gerson, Mexican dessert authority, cookbook author, and entrepreneur. She joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk all things doughnuts. Fany’s become known for her creative and artisanal takes on the beloved American treats via her Brooklyn shop, Fan-Fan Doughnuts. (Fany is also the founder of La Newyorkina, which specializes in paletas.) She’s been making doughnuts since 2010 and has lots to share about frying, fillings, and flavors. If you’re curious about the doughnut-making process, don’t miss this episode. 

Want to bake along? Here is Fany’s recipe for Strawberry Jelly Doughnuts.
