I just adore the smile on this little girl!
Tonight for FHE we made fresh buttermilk doughnuts!The activity seemed to bring out smiles and joy in all of us!
Ty was the doughnut hole master.
We got our little rings of dough all ready to go.
50 seconds per side. Just a perfect golden brown. Who needs Krispy Kreme?
We had a topping station. There was chocolate ganache, simple glaze, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. A little something to please everyone. Max and Mia stuck with the chocolate and sprinkles.
My favorite was the cinnamon sugar. A hot fresh doughnut covered with cinnamon....oh my it was divine!
The chocolate was pretty good too. We are all full of doughnuts and milk and have plenty for breakfast tomorrow. It was so good to have Ty home this evening and so much fun to do this activity together!Another good thing: Ty will be home tomorrow morning, which means I can hit the gym and burn the doughnuts off my thighs :)
Buttermilk Doughnuts
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
3/4 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, plus 1 yolk
about 6 cups of oil (for frying)
1. Mix 1 cup flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a mixer.
2. Mix the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and yolk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and then add the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. The dough should resemble a cross between cake batter and cookie dough.
3. Heat oil in a saucepan to 375 degrees.
4. On a well floured surface, roll dough out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into circles. (we made our own holes by simply pulling the dough with our hands)
5. Drop dough rings into hot oil 2-3 at a time. Fry for about 50 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels and glaze, frost, sugar, and enjoy!
