Delicious Donuts

Nick and I made donuts and donut holes for breakfast.  And they were fantastic...and incredibly easy to make!!  i posted the recipe below if you want to try it out.

Recipe:

1 pkg. refridgerated pizza dough

2 tbsp. flour

1 to 1 1/2 cups oil

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2" cookie cutter

1/2" cookie cutter

Heat oil in 10" skillet on medium high heat.  On a clean counter, spread out flour and roll out pizza dough.  Thin dough to about 1/8" to 1/4".  Flour cookie cutters and cut all large circles first.  Then with smaller cutter, cut out the center of donuts.  When oil is heated, place donuts in and cook about 30-45 seconds each side.  Place on towel lined baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.*

For the cut out centers (aka donut holes), place holes in oil and cook for about 20 seconds each side.  Place some cinnamon or powdered sugar in a brown paper bag and place cooked holes inside.  Fold top of bag and shake well to evenly coat donut holes.*

Enjoy with a fresh cup of fair trade coffee or a tall glass of local farm milk.

*NOTE:  I made my donuts with cinnamon sugar and the holes with powdered sugar.  However, I think it might work better doing the opposite as the powdered sugar is a little to heavy for the donuts holes.
