Donuts! That wonderful breakfast treat that is made full of awesome. Only...I'm horrible at frying. Really, really, terribad at frying things. I opted to put my money where my tummy is and purchase a donut pan because it was on sale at JoAnn's for $6.50. Bargain! Donut Ingredients:
2 c. Cake Flour (Or, if you only ever have all purpose flour, you can substitute this with 1 3/4 c all purpose to 1/4 c cornstarch)
3/4 c white sugar
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 eggs
3/4 c milk
1 T butter
1 1/2 t vanilla
This is my favorite kind of recipe: a one-bowl recipe. Dump the dry ingredients in a large bowl and toss them around until well combined, and then add the wet and mix until well mixed. Super easy. It took just a few minutes from deciding I was making donuts until the batter was in the greased donut pan. The batter should fill each donut well about 3/4 of the way. I baked them at 325F for ten minutes, and got 12 pretty little donuts for my trouble.
Now you'll note above that one looks plain, one clearly has cinnamon-sugar on it, and the chocolate one is...well, covered in chocolate. :D The plain looking one actually has a glaze on it that I really didn't like, so I won't be giving you the recipe. My main complaint is it tastes way too much like powdered sugar, which I'm not a huge fan of at all. So no recipe or instructions there. XD
The chocolate glaze was quick and dirty: a few dark chocolate melties(about 1/4 cups worth) that I have from my experiment in making tagalongs that is never ever going to get blogged about at this rate(Braden is a couple weeks behind with photos, and the photo up top was somewhat obviously taken by my P.O.S. camera), about a tablespoon each of milk and butter. Heat the chocolate until melted, add butter and milk, stir vicariously. Dip your donuts.
Hopefully, the first savory dish will get posted soon, but that relies on Braden somehow conjuring some time before we leave this weekend for North Star Blues...so we'll see. :3
