I guess the Boys and I have been in donut-y kind of moods lately, because when I saw this idea on a blog I read, I tucked it away for future reference...and pulled it out on Saturday morning. While Daddy caught a few extra zzz's, the Boys and I fried up a few.
(Do check out the link. Her pics are amazingly better than my pitiful ones. Of course, hers lack the darlingness that can only be O and Nosy!)
Mixing the exactly perfect ratio of cinnamon to sugar. A lot of taste-testing was required at this stage. Yum!
We cut the center out of canned buttermilk biscuits with a medicine cup. It worked great and was easy for Owie to use!
No-nos thought it might be a good idea to sample the donut hole he had been playing with while O and I worked.
He did not enjoy it one bit!
Look at all our delicious donuts-to-be arranged just right!
I had never fried anything before in my life, so this was an adventure. After the biscuits bobbled around in a vat of hot oil for a minute or two, they were ready to flip. Next came a powerful blot. Hopefully we blotted off a couple of fat grams! A roll in the cinnamon-sugar, and they were ready for consumption! Here is the finished product! They were finger-lickin' good!! (Next time, I think I will try powdered sugar too!)
Bring on the sugar rush!
