§ 02 — The ritual
Four steps. No shortcuts.
Every donut takes longer than it should. That's the point. This is a bakery built on a recipe Fairbanks has trusted for two decades — and still hand-decorates one tray at a time.
I
Mix
Flour, butter, milk, patience. Dough rests overnight in the cold.
II
Proof
Slow rise. Hours, not minutes. Nothing rushed — ever.
III
Fry
Pulled golden from the kettle. The kitchen smells like Sunday.
IV
Glaze
Hand-finished one tray at a time. No conveyor. No shortcuts.
§ 03 — The full board
Case. Cup. Counter.
Three menus, one morning. Open to close, this is everything served on Gaffney.
