Re: Making your own donuts?
I'm curious too. I used to cut up raw Pillsbury biscuits and fry them. Then, I would throw them in a bag with either powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.

Re: Making your own donuts?
I have a GREAT recipe, but its my great-grandma's and I was explicitly told not to share it. But I can advise that you find one that you fry, and fry in shortening. The recipe I have is for an old-fashioned cake doughnut, and you fry them in shortening and roll them in powdered sugar.

Re: Making your own donuts?
I haven't tried any yet, but I've seen a lot of recipes for baked donuts on food blogs and pinterest. You need to buy a donut baking pan with donut molds, but one blogger said she got a cheap one at Target and it works really well. I am considering getting a pan, though.

Re: Making your own donuts?
Stir together:
1 cup sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt a bit of nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon.
Dump in 2 eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter and a cup of milk. Mix, Mix, Mix.
Add 3 cups of flour and mix until it is really well blended.. then add another cup of flour and beat it again.
Cover the WHOLE bowl with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for a few hours.
After it's chilled, heat the oil (I use Crisco) and cut into donut shapes. I don't have a donut cutter.. so I use a small pyrex bowl and then use a wide mouth shot glass for the hole.
Fry them up. Flip them as one side gets brown. Drain on brown butcher paper or towels or whatever. Then you can roll them in sugar or cinnamon sugar .. or you can make a butter glaze or lemon glaze or frost them.. sky is the limit!
You can also do raised dough donuts. More labor intensive but REALLY good. I just use PW's recipe found here!

This is a lot like the recipe I have. And frying in Crisco is the way to go. They come out so crispy on the outside and soft and cakey on the inside. Its worth the calories. They way I see it, they are a pain to make, so I only do it once or twice and year.
