Quick bread donuts.

It's Sunday, I gained an hour thanks to daylight savings, and I feel like experimenting in the kitchen. After spending a little time thinking about what to do, I decided I wanted to use my fryer, and the box of pumpkin bread mix that's been sitting in my cabinet. So I thought I would try to make some pumpkin quick bread donuts. Let's begin...

I began by preparing the mix according to the instructions on the box (although I did add about a cup of sifted flour to make it a little thicker), and I heated up the oil in the fryer to 325* (if you don't have a fryer, you can use a deep skillet that can hold a couple inches of oil). Then I proceeded to make the donuts. Er, donut holes. Er, donut blobs. Whatever...

You see, the mix was far too thin to roll into donuts or donut holes (trust me, I tried and failed- see below), so I decided to just drop scoops of it into the fryer to see what happened. And that seemed to work pretty well.

 

 

Once they were all nice and toasty brown, I pulled them out and dusted them with some cinnamon sugar. Definitely do this as soon as they come out so that the sugar sticks.

 

 

 

That's it! So easy! And so delicious!!!





See you soon!
