Delicious Fried Doughnuts

I first learned how to make these fried doughnuts in a "home ec" type class in high school. They were sold as a scholarship fundraiser once a week on what would be referred to as "doughnut day" a.k.a Thursday. The smell of these things alone brings back a whole bunch of nostalgia. This "recipe" is more of a set of directions than anything because of the simple nature of these fried doughnuts. These doughnuts are so quick, cheap and easy to make that you'll want to make them every time you have company. Just be careful not to turn your back to them too long because they might be gone.


Ingredients:

One Can of Pre-made Biscuit Dough
½ a Cup of Granulated White Sugar
3 Tsp of Cinnamon
Vegetable Oil for frying



Step One:
Fill a small pot/sauce pan halfway with vegetable oil. Then preheat the vegetable oil on medium to high on the stovetop. Meanwhile mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a dish.












Step Two:
When the oil has heated (about five minutes later) push a hole in the center of a biscuit to make it resemble a traditional doughnut. Then, carefully place it into the oil. When the bottom cooks and becomes golden brown flip the doughnut and fry the other side.











Step Three:
Once the doughnut is brown, remove it from the oil placing it on a dish covered with paper towel to absorb excess oil.









Step Four:
Next, place the doughnut into the sugar and cinnamon mixture, flipping it from side to side to cover the doughnut in the mixture. Then serve and enjoy!

    As for the blog: try to keep your steps discrete, and try to separate your commands from your commentary and effects.
