Grow Your Own Magic Doughnuts Donuts Recipes

GROW YOUR OWN MAGIC DOUGHNUTS - DONUTS

Steps:

• Before bed, have the kids place the cereal on a cookie sheet or tray; then sprinkle with milk or water.
• Place the tray in a cold oven overnight; tell the kids that if they stay in bed and sleep well then the cereal will magically grow into donuts by morning ;) .
• Very early the next morning drive to the bakery and buy a dozen freshly baked donuts; this is the price you pay for having kids that stayed in bed all night.
• Replace the cold cereal with the donuts and carefully destroy and hide the box or bag!
• Wait for your little darlings to wake up and discover the magic donuts in the oven.
• By the way, chocolate milk or sprinkles makes chocolate iced donuts; water makes glazed; regular milk makes cream filled; and colored sprinkles makes - colored sprinkle covered donuts!

APPLESAUCE DOUGHNUTS/DONUTS

Steps:

• Beat 1-1/3 cups of the flour and remaining ingredients (except oil and cinnamon/sugar mixture)with an electric mixer on low speed, until just blended.
• Stir in remaining flour and beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
• Cover dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour (dough should be stiff after refrigeration).
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a fryer or heavy (3 quart) saucepan to 375°F (for perfect doughnuts use a themometer).
• Divide dough in half and roll each half out on a well floured pastry board to 3/8" thick. Cut with a well floured doughnut cutter, or use a 3" cup and a clean pop bottle lid for the center.
• Carefully slide cut doughnuts into hot oil, using a wide spatula. Cook 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time, so as not to lower the tempeture of the oil too much. Fry 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Carefully remove from the oil (do not prick) and drain on papertowels.
• If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture while still hot.
