Fresh Doughnuts!

I'm going to be a "mommy bragger" today.  You know the moms who blog just to prove themselves "Super Mom" and show that everyother mom is inferior to them (I don't personally know any of them, exept for me on this occasion-I say this jokingly).  Okay, that may not be their intent, but if you go blogging for any length of time, you begin to feel very inadequate.  **Hmmm...I wonder if anyone will take this the wrong way?**

Okay, so to my point.  I have been on a large home made baking kick latley.  We'll see how long my stamina lasts.  Store bought, although not as healthy, may win out on convience.  Jack decided we needed to make doughnuts.  I had made granola bars, bagles, and loaf upon loaf of bread, he aparntly was bored of the regular menu.  Jack?  Bored?  I know, not possible right?  Hahaha.

I found a recipe on http://www.allrecipe.com/.  It looked pretty straight foward, the only difference between this and other yeast breads was a few of the ingredients and the frying method for baking.  Here is the recipe., and what they looked like.

Here is the rising process. I was able to successuflly create the doughnut shape with a cup and a Torini Syrup lid.



My first attempt at frying doughnuts, it still smells like hot oil in my house



The bakery? No, my kitchen!

They are so pretty.

I'm anticipating Jack to come home from school and sink his teeth into these delicious treats. 

But it seems that homemade or not, a hunk of fried dough still sits in your stomach like a brick.
