donuts - Assorted, fried OR baked

donuts - Assorted, fried OR baked

you need:
A flour mix like Jiffy or Bisquik
milk or water
vegetable oil
sugar/cinnamon or powdered confectioners sugar
frying pan or deep fryer

What to do:
For a Pan:
Use just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/2 an inch. Leave it to heat on the stove.
For a Fryer:
Use about 4 inches of oil or just enough to let the balls float and not burn on the bottom.

Mix the milk (or water) with the flour so that it has the consistency of dumplings.
Use whatever flavoring you like in the dough: Sugar, Jelly, Powdered Jello Mix.
Get creative. You can even add food coloring if you like.

*I guesstimate when I cook, so it would probably be about a cup of flour and 2/3 cup of milk for 12 balls*

Roll the dough into little balls about 1/2 an inch to an inch thick.
However big you want them.
Warning:The bigger they are, the longer they have to cook and the more susceptible they are to being doughy
in the middle and burnt on the outside.

Prepare whatever you want to top your doughnuts: glazes, jellies, frostings, etc.
A recipe for a topping is at the bottom. I like to use a cinnamon/sugar mix.

For the Pan:
Now that your oil is ready put the balls into the pan.
Cook them until they turn a nice golden brown.
*Carefully watch these to make sure they don't burn!
Roll them in the pan and make sure they don't stick to each other.
For the Fryer:
This is a lot easier, and kinda fun.
Drop the balls into the fryer and let them cook to a golden brown.
Then you get to go "Bobbing-For-Doughnuts"! *Wee*

After you remove the balls from the oil put them in your mixture
and roll it around to get it to stick.
Again you can use Powdered Sugar, Powdered Jello Mix, anything at all.
The oil will make whatever it is stick to the balls.
Or if you want, you don't have to cover them, you can dip them in icing
or a nice cold glass of milk. It's a great treat for everybody.

Add sprinkles for more fun. Candies are good too!

As promised here are some topping ideas:
*For icing just mix powdered sugar and milk together.
Maybe add some food coloring or lemon jello mix for spunk.
*Be sure to use more milk than sugar, it will be a kind of runny state
*For Frosting use more powdered sugar than milk.
*I like to take a container of Betty Crocker Lemon frosting,
a small 12 ounce container of sour cream and a package of raspberry
jello mix and stir it all together to make a wonderful cake frosting.
**VERY SCRUMPTIOUS**
*You can also dip your doughnuts in jelly or even *gasp* P-Nut butter!! YUM.
