Yet another recipe gleaned from www.thepioeneerwoman.com She posted these last Monday and I couldn't resist - it was certainly an experience! Let's give the general run down:
Simple- no
Fast- no
quick clean up- no
low fat - no
delicious - yes!
The complete directions can be found at http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/02/homemade-glazed-doughnuts/
A few tidbits to add - if you live at altitude, ignore the parts about making sure they rise enough and start cooking 'em after 45 min. I waited 1 hour and the first ones were perfect and the last ones had fallen by the time I got to them. Also nowhere in the directions does it mention that you kitchen will smell like frying oil for a full 24 hours even if you open the window. Do this in a WELL ventilated place and be prepared to smell donuts for a while. A few photos for your enjoyment:
Prepping the dough - note the shot glass to cut out the middles.
They sort-of look like cookies, don't they?
Now they look more donut-y let's put them in oil and see what happens:
Things they didn't say in the directions - those darn holes don't want to stay on the flip side, . .
Cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar glaze- yum, after you fry 'em, dunk them in one of these two!
Testing is encouraged - yum!
This is what happens if they over rise - they sorta get flat-ish rather than completely puffy. Still pretty tasty though
Final step- box 'em up and share.
