A Fall Outing in the Country, with Doughnuts

I’m really a sucker for fall. This weekend, I visited the Barnstable County Fair on Cape Cod, which promised harvest provisions, crafts, and prized barnyard beasts. The cattle (all three of them) were lowing, I purchased a fine tea cozy and opted out of fall foliage face paint only when faced with a restless line of age-appropriate customers.
So it wasn’t exactly the autumnal fete I had hoped for. But there was one culinary highlight that made the trip exceptionally worthwhile.
