I need a recipe that is esay to performCan i have a very simple recipe for DOUGHNUTS?
Okay, this is kind of cheesy, but boy did I love them as a kid!!
Buy those cheepo Pillsbury biscuits that came 4 tubes to a package - buttermilk or regular, doesn't matter. Cut holes in each with the cap from your oil or a small round cookie cutter or something like that. Fry them in vegetable oil in a pan on the store at a med to med-high heat (holes and doughnuts) flipping after a few minutes when the first side is nicely browned. Immediately when you pull them out and they are still warm, dip or shake them with regular sugar, sugar and cinnamon, or powdered sugar. Mmmmmmm. You can really use any purchased tube of biscuits, but some of them get pretty big and are more difficult to use.
Paula Deen has an official recipe out there on FoodTV.com if you need more complete instructions (and the show repeats tomorrow if you want to watch her in action!!):
Canned Biscuit Dough Donuts and Holes(Paula Deen)
See this recipe on air Friday Sep. 08 at 1:00 PM ET/PT.
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Yield: 16 to 20 servings
Peanut oil, for frying (vegetable oil works just fine!! In fact, I would think peanut oil would add an odd taste to the donut)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Icings:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
5 tablespoons milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
Colored sprinkles
Chocolate sprinkles
Heat 2 inches peanut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
In a shallow bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. This is the chocolate icing.
Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles, as desired.Can i have a very simple recipe for DOUGHNUTS?
buy refrigerated biscuits ( Pillsbury ) cut out a hole about the size of a nickle and deep fry till golden
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons vinegar and enough regular milk to make 1/2 cup
Into a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Cream shortening; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir in vanilla.
Add combined vinegar and milk alternately with dry ingredients; stir just until well blended.
Roll small quantities of the dough at a time, to about 1/3-inch thick. Cut doughnuts with a 2 1/2-inch cutter and let stand for about 10 minutes. Fry in hot fat at about 365掳 to a nice golden brown. Turn once. Fry only 3 or 4 batches at a time to keep fat from cooling down. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 18 doughnuts.
Buy a plain thing of biskets, ya know in the container that you peel, then it pops open, you can fry them in oil in a pan on top of you stove.
Keep your flame on med. though, otherwise they will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside. If it's to low your donut will filled with oil.
Put them in, they will float, turn them when golden brown on bottom, after other side is cooked, place on paper towel just for a second or two, then very quickly place in paper bag that is filled with sugar, and shake.
And VuaLa!!
The Perfect Dough-nut
Go to the grocery store and find Pioneer begniet (sp?)mix. That is the New Orleans kind of donuts. All you add is water and fry them. They are great.
