Not a particularly convenient drive from my temporary quarters in Irving, Hypnotic Donuts came highly recommended by a pair of Dallas fine dining servers and with as self stated goal to “create the ultimate donut experience” an early Mardi Gras morning visit was planned. Small in size but big in personality with a sugar-sweet and smiling staff it was just after 7:30am when I arrived at Hypnotic and with hot donuts still emerging from the kitchen decisions were further complicated by an array of biscuits I was promised to be ‘the best in Dallas” by clerk and customer alike – my eventual order tallying a half dozen donuts plus an entirely oversized fluffy catshead biscuit potentially living up to the hyperbole with a light drizzle of honey and spicy golden chicken breast serving as garnish. Focusing next on the donuts, the fritters and blueberry cake still warm, suffice it to say that Hypnotic excels in the ingredient and glaze department – both fritters surprisingly restrained despite liberal application of the later – and while the yeasted starter was a bit doughy for my tastes all three cake options excelled with a dense crumb and not a hint of grease, the brownie-rich “Breaking Bad” particularly well done with light crunch from the added salt, though the brown butter-pistachio pairing was none too shabby itself.
