Homemade Doughnuts

This is the best thing since sliced bread (not that I was around before it wasn't sliced but you get the idea)! Homemade doughnuts, I don't know why I didn't blog about this before! It's very very simple, too--no need to get out flour, eggs, etc.

Ingredients/Supplies
  • Pillsbury buttermilk canned biscuits
  • Vegetable oil
  • Frying pan
  • Fork to turn doughnuts with in frying pan
  • Soda cap to cut out doughnuts
  • Plate to put doughnuts on
  • Powdered sugar (fill in one ziplock bag)
  • Brown sugar/cinnamon (fill in one ziplock bag)
 The collage on the right is the order in which this works: open up your buttermilk biscuits, using a cutting board or anything flat, take the top from a soda bottle (I took the top from a vanilla bottle) and you simply punch out the middle like I did, next you fill your frying pan with vegetable oil, put the stove on medium-high heat (watch out for splatters--that stuff hurts) and then you take your cut out doughnuts and put them in the pan, in a matter of a few seconds flip them over, they'll look golden brown. We're you're done (and don't forget the doughnut holes either) grab two ziplock bags. We like our doughnuts with powdered sugar and brown sugar/cinnamon, but you can also use icing mix or any other item you like your doughnuts covered in. Put a doughnut or two in the bag of your choice at a time and then shake it up, take it out and voila! You're very own homemade doughnut! Enjoy!
