What is the preferred method of accessing gopher sites? Lynx?
Firefox with the Overbite te addon? Something else?

A nice recipe repository on someone's tilde gopher. It has a search
query built in.

gopher or lynx in a Unix shell both work fine.

Lynx works, as does the Overbite addon for Firefox. Found a bunch of
recipes for corn dogs. But all of them are for frying in oil. Too
wet for an air fryer. For the time being, I'll stick with grocery
store frozen corn dogs.
Here's a recipe for Air Fryer Corn Dogs, which i just now added to
the gopher site.

Thanks for that! Now to get some higher quality hot dogs.
Might add the URL for the video.

So, I've been quite frustrated finding a good home recipe for normal old fashioned donuts. The standard round donut with the hole in the
middle. Comes glazed, chocolate covered, etc.
When searching online, most recipes yield donuts that are more dense.
I searched your amazing database in gopher and it yielded many results,
but these popped my attention:
Buttermilk Old-fashioned Doughnut
Dunkin Donuts Glazed Donuts
French Market Doughnuts
Grandma's Donuts
Merne's Nantucket Donuts
Raised Donuts
The last one on the list is the most involved time-wise.
They are mostly, quite similar to each other barring the buttermilk one.
Have you succeeded in making homemade old fashioned donuts? Those are my favorite, honestly, other donuts are good but I prefer the basic
schmasic.
PS I haven't looked TOO hard online. Was reninded to check on your
search engine and was delighted to see the results.

the old fashioned cake donuts are the only kind i really
like. fresh fried and still crispy is the way to have them
and in the fall those are often made with apple cider which
would be the first way i had them when i was a rather young
kid.

Proper cake donuts are fried. There are two basic types of
donuts. There are yeast risen and there are cake donuts which use
baking powder for leavening. Yeast risen donuts can be very good. It
is hard to beat a really fresh honey donut, or jelly
filled. Personally, I prefer cake donuts.

During my navy years, I had befriended one of the cooks on my ship. He specialized on bakery. And one night I stopped by the bake shop to shoot
the shit and he asked me if I wanted donut holes. I helped him cut
donuts with his cutter as he was removiung trays of risen dough from
the holder thing. We placed the donuts for one more rise and sat the
holes to the side. And then fried the holes while the donuts rose.
They were ridiculous. Never had such fresh donuts in my life. Right out
of the oil.
I continue to look up 'cake donuts' and they all seem to be the dense
type of round donut. So I turned to chatgpt and it told me that I'm
likely referring to sour cream donuts.
So looking up a few recipes yielded closer to what I'm looking for.
I will experiment on the sour cream donuts and see if it yields what
I'm looking for.

I'll report my findings in a few days.

fried only. i don't think i've ever had any that were
baked.

They need to be fried to be good. It is sad to think that Tim Hortons
made a name for itself with a wide variety of fresh donuts made in store
but later devolved into a par baked system where their donuts are
partially baked in a central facility and then frozen and shipped to
stores to be finished off in an oven. Their once great donuts now suck.
it just happened that last night i asked Mom to pick
up some donuts for us on the way home and she did. they
were the raised kind of cinamon rolls which i don't like
as much but these are acceptable if nothing else is
available. we had some chocolate ice-cream left in the
freezer so i had my roll with chocolate ice-cream on it
for dinner - after eating that i said good night and went
to sleep and didn't wake up until a few minutes ago. i
hadn't slept much the night before. Mom just said she
got up from her chair (watching tv and sleeping in the
chair) at 2am to go to bed. i told her she better not
be a crab-cake today if she didn't get enough sleep but
she said she was sleeping in her chair too.

LOL, that would be my daughter now. She's about to transfer to her
second dutystation (Great Lakes at the hospital it seems?). She's in bakeshop. The crew really likes her muffins and cookies.
She spent the first 2 years doing the salad bar and now bakery. Wonder
what she'll be doing at the hospital? Lots of special menus no doubt.

I can't agree with you more. Donuts are meant to soak in the oil it
fries in, that's why the flavor pops.
Baked donuts are heresy, that's my motto where I come from.
