How to make doughnuts

Making doughnuts does not have to be a long and drawn out process. In this article, I will provide you with a quick and simple way to make this delicious snack food. You no longer need to make that agonizing drive all the way to the nearest Krispy Kreme, or Dunkin Doughnut shop, because now you can make them yourself in the privacy of your own home, not only that but you will know exactly what's going into these snacks. You can make them as healty (or as unhealthy as you like). All you need is a can of Pillsbury ready to bake bisuits, along with powdered sugar, sprinkles, or any kind of glaze that you'd like. You'll alson need cooking oil and a pot or deep pan. Now, after you pop open you can of biscuits you should cut each biscut into halves or quarters depending on how large you want the doughnuts. Once that is completed, flatten the dough with the palm of you hand a poke a hole through it to creat that classic dougnut look. When the cooking oil (you either vegetable oil or canola oil), is nice and hot, drop the dought into the oil for no more than one minute depending on how thick you decided to make them. Once they're cooked all the way through, brush them with melted butter and cover your creations with the powdered sugar. Then, you're ready to chow down for breakfast, dessert, or just a tasty snack. Oh, and here's a tip. To make doughnut bites, use the same concept and ingredients only roll the biscuit dough into tiny balls and cook them for a shorty period of time. The kids will love them. And if you want something even more delicious for dessert, you can really make it fancy, but topping these treats with strawberries or blueberries with whipped cream and chocolate drizzeld over the top. That would be a wonderful ending to fancy dinner with the family or that special person in you life. Not only that, but it would be a great fun snack to serve at a child's birthday party or even a more delicate treat at a house-warming party or a get-together with a group of friends. All you would need is one large can of cream cheese frosting, and after the doughnut balls are made,insert the frosting inside of them. Also coat the snacks with powdered sugar or even cinnamon. These are sure to be a hit wherever you go. You can also use this same recipe to create a killer breakfast, but this time, don't cut the biscuit dough in half (but still flatten it). Dip the dough in a mixture milk, eggs, vanilla extract,and cinnamon. Then fry it just like you would the doughnuts, except now you'll have french toast-pancake-biscuits. Top this sweet treat with your favorite fruit topping and a hearty helping of whipped cream. If you have kids then this is a recipe that you'll enjoy, because once they smell those french toast-pancake-biscuits cooking they'll have no problem getting out of bed in the morning. Oh, and for an added burst of energy you can add chopped nuts on top.
