Gonuts for Donuts!

I Wish I was a Donut

I wish I was a donut
And get eaten every day
To stick on someone's fingers
In a most delightful way

I wish I was a donut
Sugar coated just for fun
Full and round for easy grip
And a hole to put your tongue

I wish I was a donut
Long and filled with custard cream
Delicious on the taste buds
A succulent silken dream

Recipe

All you need to make your own homemade donuts is canned refrigerated biscuits, a rolling pin (or use hands to flatten) and a small circle cookie cutter. (I used a medicine cup from cold medicine)...plus oil to fry your donuts and whatever glaze or toppings you want. I mixed up a traditional glaze with powdered sugar and milk. It is also helpful to have a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet to catch all the gooey drips of glaze while your donut is cooling. Use your rolling pin (or hands) and roll out the biscuit dough trying to keep it in as round as possible. Then use the small circle cookie cutter (or anything round) to cut out the middle of the donut. Save the centers and you can make your own donut holes too:) The next step is to fry the donuts. Be sure to fry on low temp to ensure you dont over cook on the outside and the inside gets cooked. Watch carefully and when you see the bottom half of the donut start to brown, flip them over to brown the other side. Take them out of the oil and drain on a paper towel for a few seconds. Now it's time to glaze. Simply toss the warm donut into your glaze and give it a few flips to make sure the whole thing is coated and add your sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.

Kids loved this and had so much fun. Say goodbye to Dunkin Donuts! You will have a great time doing this with your kids. It's fun, cheap and they a treat to the taste buds.
