Quick and Easy Homemade Donut Recipe




Hello, lovelies! I hope all is well, if it's not, this recipe might fill you with warmth and happiness. Today, I'm going to teach you how to make quick and easy donuts. But let's be real... is it 'doughnuts' or 'donuts'. I'm going to say 'donuts' because it's shorter and I'm lazy efficient.

A big thank you to Zachary for teaching me his "campfire" cookery skills.

Let's get started!

What You'll Need
Pillsbury Biscuits 
Vegetable Oil
Sugar
Cinnamon

Yields: 1 biscuit = 1 donut, so that's your choice.

Okay, so you may have noticed that I didn't really provide proper measurements. The thing about this is that it's typically used when camping outdoors. When you're packing minimally, you wouldn't want to pack measuring cups and other utensils. So this all just depends on how many you want to make, and how much sugar and cinnamon you like.

Directions
1. Fill a medium sized pot with vegetable oil (about 1/2 way - 2/3 of the way full so the donuts will float). Heat stove to medium-high heat. 
2. Pull biscuits apart and shape them into donut form... or if you want to be creative, make other shapes.
3. Prepare a cinnamon-sugar mixture in a medium sized bowl.
4. Once stove is heated, put 1-2 donuts into oil and let cook. Occasionally turn donuts over to monitor. You want both sides to be evenly cooked. They should look somewhat crisp and golden brown.
5. When you're ready to take donuts out of the pot, pull them out with a fork, spatula, or (as Zach does) use chopsticks to pull out and put in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Evenly coat both sides and place on plate.
6. Let cool (optional).
7. Eat.

I hope you all enjoy and have a good rest of your week!
