Doughnuts, LOVE them! I really, and I mean REALLY like these! These little doughnuts are SUPER easy to make! Even fun! :) I like to make them on a Saturday morning. I don't make them often though! :) The nice thing about this batter, you can make half a batch Saturday morning, and if you are brave enough, make the other half before church! I made these once when I helped make food for the breakfast bar at our church. So good and such a hit! :)
Put some vegetable oil in a pan and put burner on medium/high heat. While that is getting warm, combine your ingredients for the doughnuts.
Place 2 eggs in a bowl
Beat them
Add milk, if you have buttermilk, you can use that, but I usually use regular 2%
Add some vanilla
Mix those ingredients all together!
Add the flour
Add the heaping tablespoon of baking powder
Stir it all together...
Make sure it's mixed thoroughly
Drop a round tablespoon of batter into your hot oil. I like to test it first by dropping a little tiny amount, if it's ready, it will pop up to the top pretty quick!
These are sooo fun to make because they turn themselves! Well, as long as they are round enough they turn themselves! Sometimes you have to help turn it! But still so fun to make! While these doughnuts are frying, take a few seconds to combine your cinnamon and sugar to roll the doughnuts in!
Take some sugar and cinnamon and mix it together
Nice and golden brown!
Ready to be dumped in cinnamon and sugar! I don't have a pic, but make sure after you've taken the doughnut out of the oil, place it on a paper toweled covered plate. That way if there is any excess oil, it can drip off and gives it a few seconds to cool off as well!
Roll it around in that cinnamon and sugar goodness! Be careful, they may be a tad hot yet!
The finished product! You may want to make the whole batch, they go SUPER fast!!! :)
The inside of the doughnut, YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the little extras that you may need to take out after a few minutes of frying your doughnuts!
Popover Doughnuts
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk (remember, if you have buttermilk, you can use that too, either one works the same!)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Combine all ingredients in order given. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil. When browned, remove from oil and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
*You can fry up the amount you need, and save the rest for later.
You can also use powdered sugar.
You can also add chocolate baking powder to the mix and make chocolate doughnuts! Those are SUPER good!!!! Just roll those in regular sugar or powdered sugar! YUM!!!
A little video for ya'll to watch them popover by themselves! :)
