I purchased a rather large deep fryer the other day. After preparing disappointing french fries Wednesday (overcooked) I decided to try donuts. SMART MOVE. I have never made donuts before and located a recipe that calls for buttermilk which I had the foresight to purchase. I thought I would need yeast but the recipe I used called for baking powder and baking soda so the preparation process was much faster. After rolling the donuts out I improvised as I don't have a donut cutter. I used a biscuit cutter and another very small cutter. It worked and I started to fry.
And here are some of the donuts. Boy, they looked good....would they taste as good as they looked????
Yes, they did!! They were great.
When we were first married there was a donut truck that was by our apartment. We would often stop for a donut hot from the fryer and smothered in powdered sugar. These donuts were really close. I used a powder sugar shaker as when I first attempted to put the sugar on it melted. Well, that makes sense as they were really hot. Next time we will try dipping them in a saucer with powdered sugar after they cool a bit. Bottom line..they are great and we will definitely do them again. By the way, I have ordered two different sized donut cutters as having the hole cut out at the same time you cut the donut makes it simpler and faster.
