Donuts

We finally made donuts!

I found a recipe and Sunday afternoon, I mixed up the ingredients. I only made half a batch because I did not want to make a full batch and have the donuts not taste good. After letting them rise, my assistants cut the donuts.














Then we let them rise again.
We don’t own a deep-fryer so I
pulled out the heavy cast iron
skillet and a bottle of oil. Once the oil was hot enough, I fried the doughnut holes first then the donuts. I made a butter-confectionary sugar glaze to pour over the hot donuts. The guys kept coming out to sample the donuts.
I made them wait.

End results – the recipe is a "keeper" and we plan to make a full-batch next time.
