Homemade Donuts

Yummy and Easy Homemade Donuts


Ingredients:
Refrigerated Biscuits(I like using Buttermilk)
High Heat Oil(I use Safflower Oil)
Sugar for dusting

Start Heating the Oil. While you are heating Oil, Place a paper plate and paper towel ready for the donuts to cool. Oil doesn't take very long, about 10-20 minutes, depending on your stove.


Pull Biscuits out of container and cut holes in center. I used a melon baller for that. Sorry you have to see my yucky stove.


Flatten the dough. It will expand in the oil.


Every oven is different, so I like to test the dough to see when the oil is ready. Just drop small pieces of dough until it comes out light brown and the center is not gooey.

Drop in the dough and when you see the edges turning light brown then you are ready to turn it over.


Nice light brown color.


Let them cool slightly on the paper towel.


While donut is still hot and greasy, dip them into a bowl of sugar.


Yum, enjoy.


My daughter eating all the sugar off first.


She loves this treat. And so do I.



The first couple of donuts I made came out really gooey. After a few testers I finally got it right. Now I just save the oil every time I use it, so that I can use it again and again. And I do. We make homemade Donuts a lot. It is easy, fun, cheap and they taste like real cake donuts that you buy. I have put frosting on them and dipped them in chocolate too. You can get creative with these. Any questions, let me know.

XOXO-

Pink & Brown Baby Shower

My work through me a Baby Shower before I had my baby. She's a year old now, but I thought what they did was sooo cute that I'm deciding to share it now. Hope you like some of the cute ideas they came up with.

Pink & Brown Baby Shower
They placed cute little printouts in 8x10 white frames that said:

Welcome
Scotlin Aurora Malkin

They had a great spread! Aren't those mini bottles of Martinelli's the cutest?

They had a custom cake. I think they had the purple on there because that's my favorite color.

More yummy finger foods with framed printouts of what the food is. Such a cute idea. And don't forget the pink and brown balloons. They even had baby's breathe in vases all around. They thought of everything. 

A cute hanging banner and streamers.

And gorgeous potted plants for that extra girlie touch!


Mind you, this was a Baby Shower thrown for me by my work...a court reporting agency. They went all out for me and I love them for it.
