homemade doughnuts...

mmmmmm  doughnuts.

As I was making our 'Famous Sunday breakfast', dubbed that by Max,
Hannah and Max made our favorite special breakfast treat... homemade doughnuts!

These are one of those recipes that my mom used to make,

and are really too simple to taste as good as they do!

here's all you do:

Purchase the 4 pack of refrigerator biscuits,separate the biscuits, and use the cap from a bottle

such as a water bottle to cut the doughnut hole out of the center.

Pour some oil  (we use canola oil) into a heavy pan,

about 1 inch or so worth 

let the oil get hot enough to fry the doughnuts and place the dough gently into the pan.
when you see the bottom of the doughnut turn golden brown then gently

turn them over for another couple of seconds.

We put about 4 or 5 in the pan at one time, you have to watch them closely, they cook really fast.
I don't think they take more than a minute or two to cook.

Be careful... we are talking about really hot oil!

Then scoop them out with a long handled slotted spoon 

and put them on a plate with a towel for draining.

Now came Max's job...

roll them in cinnamon sugar.

we also like to use powdered sugar,
and even warm up a little chocolate frosting and frost the doughnuts with that.

yum.

no kidding.

they are delicious!

So while I supervised the kids while they made these
(Hannah really did a great job, she even fried them for the first time!)
I made the rest of the breakfast, both scrambles... tofu and egg and we topped it off with
apple cider.

Famous Sunday Breakfast!

Now I just have to figure out what I'm making for dinner!

Have a wonderful Sunday night!

love,
Theresa xoxo
