Last night while laying in bed I was searching around Pinterest like I do every night and I came across this recipe to make donuts at home. A couple things crossed my mind...okay I don't do well with making dough from scratch and I don't have a deep fryer. Oh but Pinterest came to my rescue once again.
This is so easy you're going to laugh.
Here is your list of characters....once again I forgot someone {4 tbs of butter are missing from the picture)...I'm so blonde sometimes...
You will need:
Pillsbury Dinner Rolls...any kind will do, make sure you don't use the flaky layers one.
Sugar
Cinnamon
4 tbs butter - melted
Oil
In a bowl, mix your sugar and cinnamon. No measuring needed.
Mix, mix, mix
Next pour your oil into your pan (about a 1/2 inch) and warm for a couple min on medium. Please excuse my really really really used pan. I have had this thing forever and I'm in desperate need of a new one :(
Next take your rolls out of the package and separate onto your cutting board. Either using a cookie/biscuit cutter or anything that will make your desired shape, punch out a hole. As you can see I'm really putting my shot glasses to good use here....sigh
Once your oil is hot carefully place your biscuits in the pan and let them brown on one side. Now I burned the heck out of my first four because I didn't think they would cook so fast, but don't turn your back on them, it only takes a couple seconds. Once they are brown flip them over and let the other side brown up.
Side note...not many people have a tri pod in their kitchen, but if you know me...it's a must. Don't get me wrong it's not there all the time but it's great to have when I need it!!
You can also cook up your "donut holes" for a lil sweet bite!
Make sure you let your donuts cool for a bit on a paper towel. This will absorb any extra oil as well.
Perfectly done!
Once they are cool enough to handle take your melted butter and pour it into a shallow pan. Dip each side of your donut into the pan.
Next dip each side into your sugar and cinnamon mix, making sure to coat it well.
I have a confession. I totally forgot that I was taking pictures and I was so excited for these, that I finished sugaring all the donuts first and only had the holes left to give you a demo...sorry :/
Tada!!!!
So pretty!
::drool::
So there you have it. Crazy easy huh? It would be fun to do for the family on a rainy weekend morning, or just for a fun dessert one night. It only took me about 15 min from start to finish and that's with taking pictures...so go make these and let me know how you like them!!!
