Jersey Wonders are a local delicacy similar to a doughnut but less sweet and more deep-fried. They're a bit of a hard sell to be honest and, on the whole, it seems that you have to be Jersey born and bred to truly appreciate these greasy, almost-certainly-really-bad-for-you, balls of dough. "Wonder why you eat them" is a popular comment from non-fans.
Now, ideally, these should be freshly made in front of you, preferably by someone in local costume and a bonnet. However this variety can be hard to come by in which case you'll need to source one from a farm shop, or in my case this time, from the Vienna Bakery in the market.

You know you're on to a winner when your pastry does this to its paper bag.

A quick warm in the oven and you're good to go.
Lovely (if you're from Jersey)!
